PLEASE HELP! Door jammed, can't open from outside and inside
It happened when i pressed the unlock button from my remote while someone was opening my driver side door from outside at the same time. I tried resetting the alarm. I can't open the door from outside or inside. I've search the forum but only found that other members that have their door jammed can't open it outside but can open from inside. I've tried focing the lock from inside but it's really stuck in there. I went to lexus dealership and they said minimum of 2 hours labours just for diagnostic because they said somehow they have to open it first then look at it. They're hourly rate is way overprice and who knows how long it will take them to fix it after the diagnostic. If someone had the same problem...please help!!!!

well, the problem with your situation is that the door needs to be open to remove the doorpanel and access the wire that runs to the door lock and handle. After having changed my door lock 3 times i can tell you that you are not going to have much luck getting in there without the door open.
The best bet is to call a locksmith and have him remove the lock and manually open the door through the lock hole with a piece of metal.
