    LOL :-) Are you sure you are really locked in ? Leverage is the easiest way to break a door down, but that can make repairs necessary. Alternativly some walls are easier to break a hole through than to open the doors. If the hinges are on the inside see if you can take the pins out or unscrew them. Regardz Colin J Davies

    Yeah, I'm locked in. Maintenance has been working 30 min without any result. The hinges are on my side of the door but I can remove them since the only tool I have is a pencil and my compiler. It's obviously a hardware problem :-D --- Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.

      *sigh* I closed the door to get some peace and quiet, now the door is locked. There is no keyhole. Anyone have the email of David Copperfield, I need some hints :~ .Henrik --- Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.

Maybe you could climb out the window and walk around the ledge of the building to another office where the door isn't locked. I saw it on a movie once. I think it might work...:omg: Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

          Try shutting down the servers, 30 minutes later the sysadmin may appear :rolleyes: (at least, if you're not the admin ;)) Regards Thomas Sonork id: 100.10453 Thömmi

But the spine of the book will never recover :(( Hey Tom, my Inside C# seems to have a some ...ummm.... quality problems.... could you send me a new one :-D .Henrik --- Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics.

                      That reminds me of when I was back at Uni, we had a small CS computer lab that had a swipe-card operated magnetic lock on the door. One day the lock mechanism just stopped working (the card swipe on the outside, and the release button on the inside both had no effect) so I emailed our department tech admin guy that we were stuck in, and would appreciate to be let out at some point. By the time they eventually got there, they discovered I'd already dismantled the lock mechanism using the screwdriver on my swiss army knife. and had the door propped open with a chair. It's odd how people stopped making fun of me for always carrying a knife it after that :-D -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
