Default 1998 Honda Civic driver door won't close

Had to fix the handle on my civic on the drivers door and now I can't get the door latch. It looks like the latch is in the closed position but no matter what I do it won't unlatch.

You should be able to pull the handle as if your opening the door to UN latch the latch. You might have to stick a screwdriver in the latch while you pull the handle and pry on the latch to get it open.

spray some lithium grease inside the latch. Dealt with this issue when helping a neighbor with his Del Sol.
