door won't open on 2000 accord
 

My driveside door won't open from inside or out. I already have the door panel off and I have tugged on all the linking rods. Nothing happens. Is there anything else to try or does the latch need to be replaced? If I do need to repalced the latch, how can I open the door to remove the latch screws, or can the latch be busted out from inside? thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Member, take off the door panel on the working side and see what's missing or not in place then go from there..

Thanks for the answer. IU already got panel off and nothing looks out of order. I think the latch is broken. Assuming this to be the case, what now.

There was a procedure for earlier models to drill out the door latch. I think there was a TSB on this procedure. It requires precisely drillinga hole in the latch assembly to allow a tool to release the latch. I don't have access to TSB's to search. You might try googling for the procedure.

good luck
