Default 74 Door Lock Issue

I have a problem unlocking the driver door on my 74. I locked the door with the key, but when I try to unlock the mechanism only turns so far and will not allow the door to open. I can get inside the car and have tried to unlock with the door panel ****. I have tried moving the dooor lock with the door latch handle in various positions with no luck. I cannot get the door panel off as I cannot unlock and open the door. Any Suggestions?

Might have to try a slimjim. use to be able to get them at autozone/dicount auto parts, etc.

Welcome to the forum.

Might take the door panel off the other door so you can see what you're dealing with. Then use blueshark's suggestion. There is a shield that is meant to prevent slimjimming but it just slows the thieves down. Good luck.

Neither the sun or a log are allowed in. But you are very close, and the door has a good feeling about you.
