Default Lock Broke And I Cant Open My Door

Last night I locked my driver door and heard a noise,
When I tried to unlock and open it nothing happend.
i assume it's a broken door handle.
I cannot open my door it is locked shut.
Is there a secret to opening the handle from the outside?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
Dave

can you not get in from the passenger side? this once happened to me from the passenger side, there is a small metal piece that usually breaks inside, you have to probably get it at a dealership.

the door will not open from the inside either,
I cannot get the door panel off while the door is closed.

There is a little piece of plastic that connects the cable in the door to the handle and latch. That little peice of plastic must be broken.

Cheap DIY repair, but a PIA to do the work.

Good luck
