Since it's just a latch and not a dead bolt - can't you use the old credit card trick and try to push the latch back from the jamb side? Or is the entire latch locked in place?

Once the door opens, you should have access to replace the latch mechanism

I’m able to push the latch inwards a little way, but can’t manage to get it all the way retracted.
