Hi tnygard,

Had the same thing happen to me, scratched and prodded for hours until I worked it out.
If you can see the top end of the lock through the window cavity in the door (See the picture to work out on how to unlock the door.

If the plastic dust cover is still fitted you’re going to have to remove it. Can’t help you there.

The reason for it locking up is the rod that connects the key barrel to the lock has come out of adjustment. IMO

tnygard:
Thanks a lot for the suggestions and especially the pictures. It is helpful to see the inside, rather than poking blindly. I will try to remove the door skin around the area as you suggested. Is it possible to pull it off even though glued.
Cheers,
Tony

72vet:
What!  :tapping:  Remove the door skin!!   Are you mad?


 I’d hack the inner trim before destroying the door.

Hi Tony.
There's nothing like a bit of a challenge. Just tried my '75, I can open door with a bit of coat hanger provided the window is down. I'm at Long Jetty. Give me a call on 0488 332 028 and I'll reveal all. (about the lock that is)
