Our storage room had some ladders in it and the ladders fell over and
have blocked the door from opening. The door opens inwards and is
metal without a window. Would consider cutting a hole in the door to
install a window if needed to gain access. Does anyone out there have
any advice?


Thanks,
Rachael Bowles

Any chance that the door opens enough that the hinges can be cut with a
reciprocating saw?

push a yardstick or rod or length of pipe under the door or above the
door to push ladder back to standing position.
give this puzzle to a teenager with a ball of string and a coathanger.
buy a sewer snake or tape and go fish.
buy a peephole and drill a hole for it it's cheaper than a window.
if the room is on an outside wall and you were planning on drilling
insulation holes, now is a great time.
