Stick a wheel nut in the bottom hinge and shut the door til it's realigned. :wink:

I had this a few times, when the door lock block on the end of the door was stuck in the closed position.  Pull the door trigger and wiggle the locking bit with your finger, if it pops back open that was the reason.  Drown it in WD40 whilst working the lock finger back & forth, till it springs open freely!

take the handle off and clean out all the crap then re-grease it, screw in the end of the door and another under the trim on the handle :)
