My daughter locked her bedroom door, and closed it. We just moved in and the owners didnt leave us a key for this door. There are no screws on the doorknob and I cant get in through the window. Any ideas how to remove the lock?

There should be a small hole in the center of the knob. There are two different knobs. One, you just have to push a wire coat hanger into the hole and it will pop the lock open. Two, you have to find a small enough flat head screwdriver that will fit in the hole and turn it and it will unlock. Check over the door casing above all the locking doors in the house. Most people set them up there for easy access. Good luck...
