Can't open jammed door

[greenjeepguy]

Hey y’all! Wondering if any of you guys can help me, my passenger door is jammed shut, I can’t unlock it from the outside, inside, and manual unlock it. I was able to get my inner door panel off and it seems my locking mechanism is jammed and wont unlock, any advice ??

That happened with mine a few years ago. If I recall the handle outside and inside moved but the door latch didn’t open. was ready to buy a new door handle but it worked with it, brake cleaner and compressed air to flush years of dust out and then lightly lubricate everything. Been fine ever since.

Unbolt the hinges before you wreck the door. It's going to be the tab at the end of the lock cylinder where the linkage connects most likely.
