I share your pain. I had the opposite problem. We got up one morning and were getting ready to hit the road. Tried to open the door and it wouldn't open. Deadbolt lock mechanism had come apart internally and wouldn't actuate the deadbolt. I have a 2015 3610rl and can remove the dinette window screen and with the window open, reach the lock. I thought i'd be able to unlock the door with the key and get out that way but although the key turned, it did nothing. I knew I could take the latch apart from the inside, but all my tools are in the basement. Now I'm looking out the window, hoping to see someone outside walking that could retrieve a screwdriver for me. I know I could get out through the emergency escape, but wasn't anxious to see what a 4 foot drop would do to a 70 year old body. And then there's the issue of getting back in with the screwdriver. Somebody finally came by and handed me a phillips head and I repaired the lock. I now keep a phillips head inside the camper.
