yeah my closet door is stuck and I cannot open it. I have tried every trick in the book and It will not budge. I have even gotten like 15 of my friends to try to open it but they haven't gotten it open. It has been almost a week and I really need my vacume and My place is starting to get really filthy. So any ideas on what I should do would be apreciated. This seems wierd that I cant get it open but I just cant. (Also Busting it down would cost me $500 and I really cant afford to pay for something that stupid right now).

wooden door? It's warped, probably due to moisture and heat
try twisting the knob open and then pushing down on the nob so that the door pulls away from the top of the frame. See if that works. Also try pulling the hinges out. Or try get the room down ro 65 degrees. This may allow the door to change shape just enough to loosen up. Wood will expand if it absorbs too much moisture, and condensing that moisture will allow it to contract,
Of course, the other problem could be tha the door frame has shifted dye to changes or settling in your apt's or house's foundation. If that's the case, then you'll have to call a professional...

It sounds like the door has swollen dur to humidity. If you have a dehumidifier, get it and turn it on and see if you can shrink the door. Also if you have access to the hinges, have someone pull the pins. This may allow you more movement and help move the door. If you think that for some reason that the door lock is holding the door shut, try putting a credit card in the edge of the door to release the lock.

knock out the hinges in the corner and the door will come right off. otherwise remove the door handle completely and just turn it with a flat head screw driver.

Call the fire department and tell them that your kitten is stuck in the closet. They will get it open.

If the hinges are showing, you could take it off the hinges. If that doesn't work.............I don't know.......Maybe call a locksmith?
Good luck!
