Girlfriend's 90 EX door won't open

Hey, got an annoying problem with my girlfriends driver's side door. She has a 90 Accord EX sedan. It seems like the door is locked and won't open. The lock goes up and down and feels like it still works. I'm trying to find a way to get the door open so I can fix the problem, but I can't get the door open, it's a catch 22. If anyone knows how to get the door open, I would greatly appreciate it, since it really sucks climbing in and out of the passenger side.

You need to get the door panel off. If the release rods are still connected, you'll probably need to drill the latch to get it open. Someone posted a pic of where to drill a while back.

It appears that this website is down until right now for redesign but here's a link to a PDF that has the procedure on how to drill the door lock outlined for you

Google has a cache of the text of this document available though. It explains with enough detail how to pull off this procedure.
Good luck.

you might know this, but hold the handle open while locking through the drivers side.
