I was just about to drill the old lock out and the lock moved. Not much but it moved. So I pushed the door in and then slid the lock to the left away from the plate and it opened up.
What happened is the dead bolt screws loosened up over the years. The housing around the dead bolt has a slight flange on it and that flange got stuck inside the plate.
I knew that I could feel the lock working but something was not letting it open. As a warning check your screws on the latch and dead bolt.
Best thing no damage done!!! Wooo Hooo
