Back door handles don't work. How do I get the door open to fix it?

Post by AtomEve »

Back door inside and outside handles stopped working. Can't really take the door apart to fix it because we can't open it! The inside panel is of course stuck between the door itself and closet... Any ideas? Knock the pins out of the hinges perhaps? It's a 1995 Ford body.

Saw a thread here from 2018 with this information "Took apart the door and found out that the plastic anchors are broken on both door latch cables on both ends! Tip: You can find replacement anchors on amazon that are aluminum for $10 to save some money or a buy a whole new set for about $20~35 dollars."

Nothing about how they got the door open. We did buy the parts to fix it. Just have to get it open to work on it.

Thank s folks!

Well I could delete this thread since my wife did get the door open....

However I thought others might also benefit from the video that she said gave her the idea that was successful.

Now we are going to try to figure out how to fix the lock/handles/cables...!
