Default Need help quick, door issue

Drivers door is stuck... 15 degrees out, all the doors were sticky, but the latch on the drivers door is frozen. I sprayed some wd40 through the exterior gap in the door at the latch, but it doesn't want to free... suggestions... right now I'm warming up the car, going to push on the door a little and free it, if all else fails I'm going to remove the interior trim and try to free it by hand... any other suggestions???

can you remove drivers interior trim with the door still closed?

Have you tried to repeadiatly unlock the door with your remote to unlock the doors. Living in Colo. we get cold but I have not seen my locks or doors freeze. You might want to dry a hair dryer to thaw out the lock.

Firstly mike, let me thank you as usual for being the first to respond, greatly appreciated...

I took a hair dryer to it for 10 min, didn't do anything...

A pushed and pulled the door with the handle pulled, nothing... So I had to jump in on the other side, remove the interior trim, and pry the door lock with a coat hanger...

Once I got it open, there is a little rubber cover that goes over the claw that grabs the stub on the door jam, that rubber cover was all ripped up which jammed the door closed. Apparently the cold weather made it ridged enough where it seized the claw shut. I cut it off, WD40'd the area, works fine now...

Wasn't expecting to have to rip my door apart in 15 degree weather at 830am.. hah

thanks again!
