The driver's door handle broke off in my hand one day; was able to unlock from the inside however, using too much force to open the door while responding to a house fire now the door will not open from inside although the mechanism is workin. How do I get the door open to fix the issues?

Hello,

It sounds like the inner door handle has broken which happens. Here are the replacement instructions in the diagrams below. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
