basement latch on 2003 Monaco stuck!!

If it is stuck so the key can’t be turned while inserted in the lock, there is a workouround. With the key in, use vice grips on the lock to turn the whole lock. I did it with no damage to the lock but it is hard to get rid of the rust so better to replace it with a new one of the same size.

We will try that when it stops raining!! Thanks

push in on the door as you try the latch.
