I was installing a lock on an eterior door, and i was trying to see if it would latch. Sure enough it did, but I forgot to put the knob on the outside of the door before I tested it now the knob and my tools are locked in and Im locked out. Any suggestions short of calling a locksmith or buying a new knob?

PS for people who's brains don't work right, the building I locked myself out of is not where I live

for those whose brains really need help, yes I own the building I'm working on

People with brains don't lock themselves out of buildings then ask for help on Yahoo answers.
Maybe you wouldn't have gotten so many wise remarks if you were able to articulate your question. Then again, you're the guy who locked himself out.....................

There is a way in which to insert a screwdriver into the center of the mechanism and turn counter-clock-wise until the bolt returns to the main unit. Or, enter through an exterior window...or contact law enforcement officials for advise ... so that they do not repond to a call about someone entering a domicile that is NOT the owner.

You should be able to stick a square head type of screw driver or something in the hole where the knob would go and turn it from your side.
