Still locked out....

Pulling down on what I think is the correct latch/rod, and nothing.
Even with wife trying to open door from outside whilst latch is down.

Looks like its the angle grinder the weekend

The white clip you can see at the bottom of picture 5 in arctic's post is clipped around the threaded bar. this clip can be opened to release the clip completely from the threaded bar. Thin screw driver does the trick but I won't pretend it is easy.

Once done this should allow the door to open and in all but one cases I know of this has enabled the linkage to be reassembled in the correct position. The one case where this was not the issue the door lock had seized in a deadlock position.
