The child lock could be on.
you have to remove the inside panels to get at the latch to open
hold the lever. Push outside !
If your dog can open the sliding door, you can use a broom handle to keep the door shut by wedging it so that the door will not slide. This will allow a child to open the door and block the dog from opening the door. You could also keep the door locked and teach the child how to unlock the door.
What kind of sliding door?,,,,, Vehicle? House? Bank Vault?
need to know how to open the door from the outside of a previa 1992 to take off the panel
If from the inside perhaps the child proof latch is engaged. Hope This Helps.
Remove the inside door panel to expose both of the latches. Using a flashlight you can now diagnose what the problem is.

;how to remove drivers door panel to repair door restrictor
Just a thought. I have a Toyota Sienna also. The gas compartment is on the left side. If the gas compartment is even popped then there is a safety mechanism that will not let the door open. Your compartment might be closed, but you could be having a mechanical problem with the compartment that would cause the safety mechanism to come on. Simple, but could just be it.
the trick is in the name really, you slide it. ???
A disconnected door handle linkage can cause your sliding doors not to open. The locking mechanism may not be fully disengaging, of which will cause your door not to open.
