OK well lets pretend that you, too had this problem..
Do this..
Opposite the outer door handle is a plastic trim on the inside of the car. Pull it off. Go ahead, do it. Don't be scared. Be authorative, Its your car! But dont break it. Probably not cheap.
You will see two 10mm nuts. take em off, and the outer door handle can be "displaced" by pushing the studs in. You will see the two pushrod connectors that control the door latch and locking mechanism. Push down on the forward most one and fully disengage the lock.
The door should open now . Yay! . take this time to spray a little contact cleaner/lubricant on the mechanism, and work it a little bit back and forth and I "dribbled" a little down the pushrod with hope it made it down to the lock.
After tightening and cleaning everything, the latch and lock work MUCH better. Since it takes less than 5 mins ( to do both sides) you might want to do a little preventive maintenance and not go through what I went through today!
peace out
