Locked out

Monday night was a rather eventful one. Dave decided he wanted ice-cream and when Dave wants ice-cream, all other considerations are swiftly forgotten (we do live about 5 minutes away from the best ice-cream in Sydney, Gelato Messina). In the rush to get there, both of us managed to forget our keys.....

The question was do we call a locksmith or do we kick the door down? 

Getting in the building is easy enough - despite them having fitted a security door recently in front of the main door, it took all of 2 minutes to slip a hand through the railings of the security door and open the handle from the other side, and then Dave's substantial weight against the main door easily opened that...

We tried the old credit card trick for a little while and then decided it was just best to kick the door down. This was the result...
Problem solved. Apart from the mess the door is now in, of course. A hammer, a few screws and some putty will sort it out though, Dave is currently fixing it as I write...
