I just got home from work, inserted my key to unlock the front door, twisted the door knob and the knob came off. I entered through the back door and removed the knob from inside the house. The photo shows what is still keeping the door from opening. Any ideas how I can get the door open? I tried sticking a screwdriver inside that big opening in the middle and forcing the latch open but I'm either not strong enough or it doesn't work that way. Any advice before calling a locksmith would be appreciated. Thanks

Turn the thingy.

Where the fuck is your rotating latch mechanism? Show the part on the doorknob that is supposed to fit in there.

These two protrusions attach to the latch and are actuated by the handle. They just get pushed backwards away from the door jam to retract the lock.

Push here.
Or stick the part (still attached to one of the knobs) that's half moon shape in that hole and turn.
