Honestly, I'm not sure I'd trust a locksmith or random AAA person to either be able to pick the lock or to know the tricks to unlock the doors on this 20+ year old car.

Even if you know what to do, pressing the central lock button while pulling the door handle through a tiny crack in the door would take some real finesse. I tried it out in the garage a few minutes ago - it does work! In my instance, it would have been easier to try to hit the rear cargo hatch release button (had I known that would work). The dang keys were just inches from it.

Sure appreciate the help and advice. If this ever happens again at least I'll have a better idea of what the options are.

All the best,
Chris
