扉を奥までグッと押し込みながら、鍵を左に回してみてください。
とびらをおくまでぐっとおしこみながら、かぎをひだりにまわしてみてください。
Try pushing the door firmly inward while turning the key to the left.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to the keyhole and show a turning motion with your hand to demonstrate the issue.
Never leave your belongings in an unlocked locker. Some bathhouses require a refundable 100-yen coin inserted into the door interior to turn the key.
