Door Lock Stuck - Fix with Pics!!!

[Jack_James]

I just read the first page so far, but I'd like to add my findings too lol.

This happened to me yesterday, and it luckily isn't my first stuck hinge/handle situation.

All I did was move the latch in the door by hand so it locks (door will bounce off the car if you try to close it now) then you just lift up on the handle and it opens the latch assembly again, and the door will close.

I shot some undercoating in the hinge assembly later on, but here's hoping I can avoid this by SLOOOWLY opening my door haha.
