Open your door. Look at the edge of the door. There is a bolt just about even with the handle. Take that out and then remove the inside door panel. There should be a whole at on the inside even with the door handle, take that out and the handle should be lose. You will then have to take apart the clips that work the lock and door latch. Its not simple, but if you are half way mechanically incline you should be able to do it.

How do you fix a door latch is already in the locked position?

To fix a door latch already in the locked position, first you pick the lock. Actually you many not need to do that unless there is only one door into the room. What you will do will depend on the type of lock. If the lock is in the door handle, there may be a small rectangular indentation underneath the door handle. If there is, put a small screw driver in it and take push it in. While it is pushed in pull out the door handle. You will then see the unit that goes into the hole in the door jam. It will have a place that you can pull back with a screwdriver. Pull it back and then you should be able to open the door. If the lock is one that will not work and you are inside. There should be some screws in the lock itself that you can unscrew and do the same thing. There are also solvents available at hardware stores that you can squirt into difficult locks that will let them open with a key.

Why would a car door not open?

Both from the inside and outside ? Things to try. It is unlikely that both handles are broken so we assume it is lock related. Work the lock and see if you can hear the lock moving. You can try pushing in on the door slightly while lifting the handle. There may be too much pressure on the strike plate and the lock will not release. The lock may be dry. With the window down, lift the handle and give the door a sharp pull. With the window down, spray a fair amount of WD-40 or similar lubricant into the door above the lock. The lock can be dry and slightly rusty and not release. If it is a rear door that won't open from the inside only, the child safety lock may be activated.
