Hi All, can anyone please help me get into my van. Plastic handle has broken off and my wife has locked the door from inside thinking it would not close before the replacement handle arrives !! But yes LOCKOUT.

ummm
off the top of my head(not much else up there), can you get a pair of pliers onto whats left of the handle??
or a small flat blade screwdriver, and see if you can wiggle it open?

not much help sorry...........

cheers

How about trying to lift the roof from the outside off a ladder then remove the Velcro mesh screens unzip the window then craw through and unlock the door.

Hi
we usually just grab the end of the broken handle with pointy nose pliers and tilt up. otherwise it's spiderman time to climb in

I drilled a hole into the bit that was left and put a bolt in it until I could get a replacement when I broke ours
