The door latch mechanism has stopped working - inside and out. The door is closed and can't be opened.

I have peeled back as much of the panel and can get access to the latch mechanism (blind)

Is the a specific latch movement or area I can get to with a screw driver t o pop the door? Can't seem to find any pictures of the mechanism anywhere.

Thanks for any help!

Highly doubt theres any pics of that here. With the door panel removed it should be easy to look inside and see whats wrong with a flashlight.

 

We the door panel is peeled back - it can't come off cause I can't open the door and part of it is behind the door jamb. Tried getting a mirror in there to see but there's not enough room.

Thanks

 

Have you taken off the plastic cover that the inside door latch sits in? There's a little plastic cap behing the latch that pops off, and then there is a screw behind that. Then you should be able to remove the cover entirely and see behind the latch and the linkage mechanisms.
