Default Cannot unlock my drivers side door.

Ive searched, and have not found what ive been looking for. My Drivers side door will not open at all. The key and key fob both work, and the key rotates the lock, but the door will not open. I have no idea what to do next. I cant get the door open to take it apart. Im really tired of climbing in the car through the other door. Any suggestions?

Will it not unlock and open from the inside either?

Perhaps the previous owner thought it was the General Lee and had the door welded shut?
Maybe its a disguised "Dukes of Hazard" vehicle!
LOL

Its a little bar above the handel that pushes down on the door lock it came off the best way to get to it is to remove the door skin with the window all the way up and reach back there and put it back on.
