Door won't open
I locked my door this weekend, now it won't open.
The key won't turn and I can't pull up on the ****, it is simply stuck. I removed the door panel, with the door closed and can't figure out what I need to do to open the door.
By the way it is a 68.
Any help?

Spray the mechansim w/ WD40
Unscrew the door lock
Take some pliers and grab the threaded lock pin and yank up and down until you pull up on the lock mechansm inside. Work some more WD40 on the mechanism and this should do it - not a permanent solution as it will always jam if you try to open the door w/ the lock on. keep a pair of pliers in the car.
