had this happen to my stanza, remove the door trim and reach inside the door with a small screw driver and pop the latch from the inside, I know that's a vague description, but once you get the door trim off and look down where the latch it it's fairly self explanitory.  Once you've got the door open you'll be able to see what's causing the problem easier......I'm not sure if this is your problem or not, but when this happened to me it was the 3 screws that hold the latch in had come loose and it wasn't properly aligned.  Took me about 50 atempts to get it perfectly aligned again, but the door never stuffed up again.

Subject: Seized locks

Today I was driving and my mate was jumping out of the car (actually, getting out of the car) and he couldn�t close the door. It seemed like the door handle was in some kind of a limbo so I fiddled with it and it closed. I the proceeded to lock the door (from the inside) which needed a bit of force, which is quite unusual. Anyone got any ideas how to actually open the door, as I cant pull the door apart until it is open� (Ie its locked and wont open with or without a key). A friend of mine reckons a coat hanger down the window will work, im unsure how to do this� ANy ideas would b appreciated.

 

Cheers.
