How do you open a vectra passenger door that is frozen in the lock position the electrics are ok?

I had the same problem with my vectra, I could not close the rear passenger door as it was stuck in a locked mode and when i tried to close it it just bounced off the latch attached to the door frame. The locking mechanism didn't change this state at all. The only way I found to fix it was to manipulate the locking mechanism manually with a piece of wire to put it back to it's original mode.

Side door is unlocked and will not open from inside or out.?

Sounds to me like the locking mechanism is broken or jammed. The locking mechanism is the claw looking thing near the outer rim of the door. Cold weather will normally turn the OEM grease into glue. A body shop will be your best bet on getting the door open.

How do you fix a door lock that does not open from the inside or outside?

Sounds like the rod that attaches from the door lock to the handle mechanism may have come off. there is only a small clip that keeps this in place and it mat have broken. or a bushing within the locking mechanism itself may have worn out. I would check the rods first there may be up to 3 of them. 1 goes to locking mechanism near the window (in and out. lock with key and lift button), if electric locks, one may go to locking solenoid and the door release which goes to interior door handle and outside door hangle

Why if the door was on child safety and the door wont open how would you openfix broken door handle?

If I understand the question correctly - - the door is on child safety lock and you can't open the door to fix the handle. If so - - you will have to remove the interior door panel to gain access to the locking mechanism and unlock it manually. Mechanical methods of opening the door (Slim Jim's, etc) stand a good chance of damaging the locking mechanism by forcing it, and you (or someone) will have to remove the door panel to repair it anyway.
