Thanks for posting. It could be that the finger latch on your inside handle might have broken. Remove the inside handle and see if you can turn the mortise lock manually with a flat tip screw driver. That might release the lock. In the meantime, I've related a few parts that may match what you have now, which you can view on the right side of this page.

Ah, I see. The 82-240 is certainly a possibility, that's where we were leaning, as well. If you unscrew the handle set and remove it, you can try throwing the lock manually with a screwdriver. That should work.

I see what you're talking about. What I have done in this situation was use a hack saw and cut the pull handle away from the base of the handle, allowing you to access the mounting plate screws on the door. Unfortunately, this would mean you'd need a new handle. You may want the help of a local professional, since this could be a tricky issue.
