Bedroom door is locked shut. It has one of those Yale student type locks. We never close it from the outside and I don't have the key. Any ideas of how to open it or do I need to find a locksmith who'll come out to us in the middle of nowhere?

We once managed to break (to our own house) in by wiggling an old credit card between the frame and the Yale lock - might be worth a try

I lived in a flat with a yale lock. Locked myself out a couple times after a heavy night, door opened very easily with a swift kick.
