"The longest way round is usually the shortest way out!"
A rule that I always live by and most often save a heap of time and
agrovation.
The latch is pretty easy to work, the only problem is getting to it. If you
look at some pictures of the lock about half way down the page here:

That will give you an idea what you need to press. If you see the green
arrows pointing to "outer handle rod" that's what you'll need to hit.
You'll need a wooden dowel or the like to get it in the window slot and then
if you can probe around, you should be able to hit that rod and open the
door.
If you can't do that, then you might drill off the old handle and try to
stick the dowel in one of the mounting holes or the hole the actuating arm
fits through to hit the same thing. You'll probably have more space to play
with and get a better view of it from there.
That's the info I can get off the top of my head. Good luck.

No not really. It's a super simple job....It only took me about 15 minutes
to remove the panel and broken handle. The problem is they sent me the wrong
part and I had nothing to connect the latch release rod to after removing it
from the broken handle. All I need to do is get back in the door after I get
the new handle and reconnect the rods. Why should I shell out cash for
something I can do myself? I already received some useful responses...thanks
for playing.
