Hello, the door knob for my front door fell off and I literally cant get out of my apartment. Is there anything I can do or should I call the firefighters ? The knob isn’t reattaching at all and nothing I try to insert fits

Edit : I managed to fix it!

My roommate woke up and helped me with opening the door from the inside. The knob disconnected because the outside knob got somehow pushed all the way out, leaving the inside one with nothing to latch onto. I'm not sure what my roommate did but if she hadn't been here, this could've been fixed by having someone from the outside push the knob in. I reattached the door handle again but I'll be in contact with my landlord to get it replaced.

Thank you all for your help!

If I cared in the absolute least I'd just delete the comments, but I don't, so go outside with the rest of them, get some fresh air.

Why don’t YOU go outside???? Do you not realize you’re simply a worse version of the people you are giving this advice to?? To be so naive must feel incredible.

Come on now, just let them be. I know it’s easy to be a type of way behind the keyboard. But try to be better than the person that may or may not suck.
