Locked In?

It was a winter morning, my best friend's mother, Mija, came over as she usually does on Thursdays to give my grandmother a bath. As she entered Wini's part of the house, she was not being blown back by the sound of the TV as it normally does. She looked to see if she was laying in her bed. She wasn't there. There was only one last place to look, the bathroom. As she looked down the hallway, she could see that the bathroom door was shut. She became a little concerned because this wasn't normal. When she tried to open the door, it was locked. She called Wini's name and there was a reply from inside the bathroom. Apparently, as my grandma walked into the bathroom, she pushed the door shut, and in that same motion, locking the door as it swung shut.
Wini sounded fine so there wasn't any problem there. But how to get her out? Mija tried and tried to explain to my grandmother how to unlock the door. But being in the confused state as my grandma always is in, she had no idea what to do.
A solution came to her mind. Her credit card! So she opened her purse and pulled one out. After much time at trying to open the door, she finally succeeded! The door was opened, and there sat my grandma on her toilet.

What is a solution to this? After much thought, my mother came up with a brilliant idea! Completely take out the door handle! What a smart idea? But what about when she tries to use that door again? We'll never know until it happens.
