Door lock barrel stuck.
Hi guys got a bit of a problem with my drivers side door.
The door handle started getting stiff and then stopped working and.
If the door knob lock button is still stuck try turning the handle while experimenting with the ways you are pressing the button.
Now take that piece of plastic and try to insert it into the door from the outside directly where the latch is.
If this doesn t work then you re going to have to resort to removing the door from the hinges.
This is because the issue is not with the door and not even with the control the knob has over the stuck latch.
If you re lucky this will force the latch back.
Spray the mechanism with spray lubricant while you operate the barrel with the other handle.
The issue a door latch stuck due to a jamming latch will have no real variation between how the latch moves when it is pressed in or when the handle is turned both when the door is open and when it is shut.

Jiggle the handle more vigorously fast though not with too much force if you are not getting results.
