Kathy,

Not quite sure what you mean that the latch just turns.  But as for removing 
the latch I don't have any idea how it can be done from the outside.  It sounds 
like you will have to take some more severe measures.

One choice is to drive the pins out of the hinges.  This would need be done 
with care so as not to damage paint and do minimal harm to the hinges.

Second would be to drill out the lock on the latch itself.  That should free up 
the handle to turn the latch inside.

BTW  I do have hinges and latch if you need them.
