My living room to kitchen door has jammed shut, the handle doesn't operate the latch and once the handle was removed both sides it still refused to open manually. Any ideas?

Use a credit card or metal strip with a notch on the side so you can slide it behing the latch, jiggling it a little will make the latch retract pressing the card against that angled surface of the latch will cause a force that pushes it inwards, allowing you to open the door.

Looks like you're on the hinge side, grab a hammer and a flathead and tap the hinge pins out

The issue is trying to not cause damage, as this is a rented property.

Then get get a nail set and pop the pins out of the hinges this isn't the challenger space shuttle
