I'd think if it locked, it will unlock. Do NOT force it OR even add 'extra pressure'. But just jiggle it; and jiggle some more; ..... May help to use a tad of WD-40. Patience, jiggling, a smidgeon of simultaneous upward--then downward--movement on end of key. Remember to smile when it opens!
Should you decide to enjoy luxury of having locking outside handles on both sides--some words of caution: I ordered these from LMC, and the locks were too big to go into my original handles. Had to then order LMC's handles to accept
their locks. I think that is
BAD BUSINESS. But I was mid-stream by time I realized it....plus I really needed new handles too.
