my door is locked shut . Its the handle mechanism that has fell apart .
I removed the door handle and when i withdrew the square bolt bits fell
out . These bits were part of the locking mechanism to operate the
multi-point system which is the hook type with 3 hooks into the frame .
can anyone help me to get this door open as my two dogs really desparate
to get out 
thanks martin

looks like unless you can find a different video, it might be time to
call a locksmith / door specialist.  :(

"Spammer" is not the correct word, but Troll is....
I agree, all houses have at least 2 doors. And how is the guy able to
post this without getting inside to use his computer?  Granted, he could
be using a public computer or a neighbors, but by the time he posted
this, he could have gone to a hardware store or locksmith for advice and
tools..... Or crawled into a basement window, or something.  Plus, the
lock generally can not be removed from the outside.  The screws are
always inside.....
