    Ask this guy. He's a little rough around the edges, but if you ask him nicely, he'll help you out.

    Man I am getting to the point of breaking the door but I'd rather just have to replace the lock. Anyone know if the internal lock chamber will come out if you bust the outer shell of the handle?

    I got people I could call but my damned phone is inside too.

    Can you borrow a ladder and go in through a window?

    I just got in. hammered downwards on the lock and busted it, then rotated the lock. Was really easy once we figured it out. Only minor cracks on the door frame that can be easily covered up for the landlord.

    Window woulda been the choice but it was latched from the inside.

    Thanks for the tips everyone.

    the locksmith got the club off my friends steering wheel by just taking a power drill and drilling the shit out of the part where the key goes in. could try that next time

    that's the one right there. 1/2"-7/8" metal drill bit in a corded makita and you're set.
