So last week my other half opened the garage, popped the keys on a shelf and shut the door. Somehow the door is now locked and our only set of garage keys are inside!

It's the most basic of keys (the door must be 30 years old) but despite my best efforts I've not been able break back in. Anyone recommend a locksmith - not in a huge rush to get in so not an emergency but I'd like to get back in without breaking the lock off and needing a new one.

Any recommendations in the local area or talented ex-burglars out there? wink It's basically the handle mechanism in the photos shown here... http://www.garagedoor-spares.com/manufacturer/Gara...

Just to say thank you to everyone - a £3 crowbar and literally 5 seconds work opened it without any damage or drama.

Garage security is now being upgraded! Can't have anyone nicking my precious collection of mattresses and old VHS tapes...
