Help! Bathroom door locked from outside!

How do I unlock the bathroom door from the outside? Trying to fix the loose door handle I made things worse!

Would a credit card or small screw driver trip the latch from the outside ?

Tried inserting a small pin in the what looks like a hole in the handle? Home locks frequently use a small blade to turn internals and release and don't some just push a pin in?

Thanks all. Phew! I forcefully turned the door handle up and the door popped open! What a relief. Next project is to buy a bathroom door handle that doesn't lock. I really don't need a lock on my bathroom. Thanks for your contributions.

Before you go out and buy a new handle, check the little hole in the middle of the handle that shows in your photo. I do believe that a paper clip or something similar will unlock it.

There was a thread from someone asking what one of those was that was in his "package of tools/parts" included with his trailer.

Kwikset latch replacement

We have a 2018 Flying Cloud 25FB and our toilet room door latch started to do the same thing with the door latch not opening until it finally failed. After searching a few other forum threads it looked like I needed to replace the entire handle set or find a flush pocket door replacement. I had a hard time finding one that would work with the metal shield.

Then I found a Entry Door Latch from Kwikset from Lowes. And bingo that worked with the original handles. The cost was $7.98! This was for an exterior door but worked just fine indoors.

I replaced mine with this:

I had to cut the square connecting shaft and use some of the original latch parts, but now I have no lock and the handle does not stick out.
