Wow, what an ordeal. Glad you got it fixed without destroying anything. I would bet that little screen removal tab can be bought cheap enough at any RV parts outlet.

My husband climbed in through the rear emergency window. (Unfortunately, the plastic screen removal handle was broken while trying to remove the screen to open the window. Looked like it had rotted from the heat.) He slid the deadbolt back and opened the door.

We spent quite a bit of time repairing the inside mechanism of the door. There is a tiny metal bar that connects the deadbolt lock to the deadbolt. That had fallen off, which allowed the the bolt to slide out and lock the door.

It took 3 of us to hold pieces and screw screws and fit parts together. But it now works!

again to those who helped and tried to help.
Again same thing here, I forgot to mention, I ended up putting lock tight on the screws that hold the plate that holds the deadbolt linkage in place so the same thing would not happen again...
