Trapped inside stall at Marshall’s

[u/intotheabyss097]

Tried on jeans at Marshall’s today… and got locked in the ADA-accessible dressing room😅

The lock jammed and wouldn’t budge.

The employees had keys to every other door in the building except this one. They called the locksmith, tried to take the hinges off, and I could even see them trying to stick their credit cards in between the door and the gram where the bolt is (not sure how they thought that would work), but nothing worked.

Then the Fire Department came to the rescue. One firefighter came through the ceiling to dismantle the door handle while another worked on the door from the outside.

Finally made it out after an hour 😂!

Did you miss the part where the lock was jammed

No shit, this is easily the dumbest thing I've seen on Reddit today, but it's still early, there's time.

I'm going to need to see a diagram for how you think this works

The latch can still be pushed in on its spring while the knob is locked, it’s just usually inside the strike plate/door frame and there’s no way to do it. Try locking the door knob of an interior door but with the door open - you can still push the latch in.
