Remove the door panel.

This issue can be resolved easily if the door lock is working and we can still get into the car.
It can be opened from the outside then i close the door and the inside handle works.
This is an issue that occurs because of a feature that has been installed in certain models of cars it may be caused because of a button on the remote that activates the lock.
It s a 2 door and the doors do open from the inside.
If it does not move gently insert a screwdriver or small pry bar between the panel and door and gently pry the panel away from the door to determine if there are any retaining clips.
