Unhappy Locked out - everleo s697b door lock

Hello a good morning, i am using an Everleo ear-lock it is not exactly S697B there is just a small difference in the design of mine. The lock is designed such that the moment you slam it the door is locked and if you are outside you can only open with a key then (like most ear-locks). This morning i forgot my key in my flat and slammed the door behind me, the door and lock have just been newly installed and i don't want to damage it in any major way. I know there are a couple of ways to get such locks open without key if you have any ideas how please help. Check the lock design out here [Link Redacted: Original Archived].

Generally, you will not get specialized advice here on opening locked doors beyond the well-known trick of using a shim to slip the latch, which will only work on a spring-latch anyway....not familiar with your type lock.

Contact a bonded/licensed locksmith, as this is your best bet to open the lock without damage.
