Your captive must have been sturdier than you thought she was.

 

Looks like a knob you get in a cheap motel.

Just in time for Xmas. Come and visit then NEVER escape!

 

Problem is even with grub screw out handle won't budge off the plate. Plate also feels 'loose'....

Get the angle grinder out.

The second mist useful tool there is.

Did YOU fit it?  If so you will remember how it is supposed to come apart.  If not, you are guessing how it is supposed to dome apart.

 

Try taking the handle the other side off?

Nope. I didn't fit it.

There is no handle the otherside ( opening from outside is either finger scanner or key ).

I bet the outer part of that square is a cover that will just pop off if you get something flat like a chisel under it to prise it off and will reveal some fixing screws.

 

The grub screw is probably to clamp the bar, not hold the handle in place.

Yeah . I can see a lip under the cover . But it won’t just pop off . Nothing moves . Don’t want to use brute ( masculine ) force and (expletive deleted) the door ! . But normally this is easy !

Is that an Internorm door?

if you look at the end of the door, there will be lots of screws holding the gear/mechanism. Be worth taking it out but the handle will need to come off first & pull the spindle out.

Rk door . Yeah I quickly looked . A zillion screws on the edge so backed away . Assuming handle coming off was the best course - but it won’t

Pretty sure it will just prize off, small bit of plastic (credit card) to lever off gently.

I did try that . Didn’t want to budge . Got a small head flat blade screw driver in there and still no joy

Take it off it's hinges and spin the door over so the duff handle is on the inside.
