    You cannot open it with the key, because it is a separate mechanism with a separate bolt.

    I detached the slide from the knob at home, and I replaced the insert with a model with a knob - there is no possibility that you will not enter when someone inside, for example, is bathing.

    If our access to the hinges then cut them off, the cost of the hinges is small compared to demolishing the door.

    In this type, there is no access to the hinges - all that remains is to remove the escutcheon (the easiest way is to drill the two fixing screws).

    Removal = destruction. The disassembly is blocked by the handle.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the challenge of opening a keyed lock on an exterior door that is secured from the inside with a small knob. It is clarified that the key cannot operate the lock due to a separate mechanism and bolt. Suggestions include detaching the slide from the knob and replacing it with a model that allows entry even when someone is inside. If access to the hinges is possible, cutting them off is recommended as a last resort, but in cases where hinges are inaccessible, removing the escutcheon by drilling the fixing screws is advised. However, disassembly is complicated by the handle's design, which may block removal.
