  The door lock is likely to be in the closed position holding the broken bar from the old latch. As the door opens normally the cross bar at the end of the loop on the catch is pulled out of the lock leaving the 'claw' in the open position. carefully try to open the claw using a small screwdriver. If you cannot do this you will need to replace the lock.
