How do you open a car door without the exterior handles?
Rockingamer
If your car does not have exterior handles there are several methods you can use to open the car door. These include:
- Using a flathead screwdriver
- Using a Slim Jim
- Using a coat hanger
Using a flathead screwdriver is the simplest way to open the car door. Start by inserting the end of the screwdriver into the space between the car window and the door. Then push the screwdriver further in and pry the door open. Be sure to be gentle when doing this to avoid damaging the car.
Using a Slim Jim is another way to open a car door. Start by inserting the Slim Jim between the window and the door. Then move the Slim Jim along the edge of the window until you find a latch. Once you have found the latch pull it up and the door should open.
Using a coat hanger is the most difficult way to open a car door without exterior handles. Start by straightening out the hanger and creating a hook on the end. Then insert the hook between the window and the door. Once the hook is inside move it around until you feel it catch onto the latch. Finally pull up on the hanger until the door opens.

If your interior and exterior door handles will not open a car door how do you get the door open?
The only way to open a completely inoperable latch is to remove the handles and interior panel to access the latch directly. If the lock is disengaged, sometimes a "burglar bar" can reach the latching mechanism from the window well. But normally an undamaged interior handle would be directly connected.

S10 door wont open inside or out and it has shaved handles how do you open the door without messing anything up?
There should be a key fob, like newer cars have to unlock the doors, that when one of the buttons are pressed, it "pops" open one of the doors. If the door handles are shaved, the acutator installed inside the door should release the latch and push it open. A good installation should have a backup button hidden somewhere just in case, often under the hood or along the frame or underbody. This seems to basic of an answer, so it may not be what you were looking for.

Neither of the doors on your 1994 Trans Sport will open from the outside but both open fine from the inside. What would you do?
REPLACE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WITH AFTERMARKET PARTS. THEY ARE MORE DURABLE AND COST LESS THAN DEALER PARTS. YOUR LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE MAY HAVE SOME IN STOCK OR YOU CAN ORDER THEM FROM ONLINE PARTS RETAILERS. THERE IS A SMALL METAL PIECE THAT HAS BROKEN ON YOUR HANDLES INSIDE THE DOOR. YOU CAN REPLACE THEM YOURSELF. GET A HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL FROM YOUR LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON REMOVING THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL AND DOOR HANDLE REPLACEMENT. MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL THE DOOR HANDLES IN THE PROPER DOOR AS THEY ARE MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR RIGHT OR LEFT DOORS. IF YOU HAVE LARGE HANDS, YOU MAY NEED TO FIND SOMEONE WITH SMALLER HANDS TO GET AT THE BOLTS HOLDING THE HANDLES IN PLACE. BE VERY CAREFUL IN REMOVING THE OLD HANDLES. DO NOT PRY THEM OUT IF THE ARE STUCK AND DON/T OVER TIGHTEN THE NEW ONES. YOU MAY CRACK YOUR DOOR. IT IS MADE OF FIBERGLASS AND IF YOU DAMAGE THE MOUNTING HOLES, YOU WILL BE LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT DOOR.
