Let the grandkids play in the RV and they locked the bottom door lock (the red-handled affair as seen from the inside) and the key WOULD NOT open the bottom lock from the outside (and I had two factory keys!). Pushed on the door and tried both keys a dozen times, lubed it -- nothing! I was ready to call a locksmith ($100!!! for 5 minutes work) when my precious wife told me she thought she left her passenger side window unlocked --YAY! It was! I got my 8' ladder out, shoved the window and screen open as far as it goes and, believe it or not, stuffed my 68-year old, 6'2" 250-lbs frame through the window rather easily! Went over and flipped the little red door handle to "unlock" and I'm good to go! Hint: ALWAYS leave one window unlocked! Would have been far more work if I did not have a ladder, though. Keep a skinny 5-year handy at all times! LOL! If stranded, call a locksmith or you will damage a VERY expensive door!
