I’ve done this hammer technique, it works. Probably not good results on a hollow core door but fine for cheap handles on solid doors.

Even if you damage the door they’re about $75. Less than a locksmith

Dude, I was redoing a kitchen for a client. She hired a "locksmith" because she locked her basement door. Of all the easy methods to pop a lock or even just pop the pins out of the door. Mother fucker used tin snips to cut a triangular hole in the door knob to open it, and even just left it like a mangled tuna can for the client. I didn't even know what to say.
