I know. I was just messing based on the the original premise of locking himself INSIDE the room. I figured there had to be a malfunction in there somewhere.Actually it is very possible and it does not requiring locking, whether outside or in. The latch itself can break with no way to retract it, locked or not.
Fact Check: Possible
But also. Almost every window screen ever made has been removable or operable in some capacity. More than likely a spring clip of some sort. So I’m still gonna razz him for cutting the screen. lol.
