I agree with Big Al, the key in the driver lock should unlock it no problem....

The key will even override the deadlocks...

I seem to remember from previous situations  , that in some cases when using the key manually, the door pin only moves upwards a tad, but the door will then open .  ;)

That's right Al, the door unlocks but the pin doesn't lift as normal.  :y

But it does take a bit of force to unlock  ;)

If by a bit of force you mean turn the key until you think it's going to snap.plus a quarter turn, then yes it takes a bit of force :y

Thinking about this it might be worth getting a spare key cut, not programmed, just to open the door in emergency.I have one that I hide away.
