door locked closed Renault Megane 1999   
Hi
..
I have the above car and I cannot get the O/R door open.I have just bought 
the car so I don't know how it happened.
I have got the interior panel off the door. The outside door handle was 
disconnected when I got the panel off. I can pull the lever hanging down but 
it doesn't do anything, not sure how it connects back to the handle.
It has central locking
Not sure what to do next.
Perhaps the child lock is on, but can I get to this from the inside?

You can't. Its usually built straight into the lock. The only thing you 
can do is find where the rod from the door handle attaches onto the 
locking mechanism and try to use that to open it.

Hi
Managed to secure the outside handle to the inner latch, but it moves but
does not open the door, so that must be broken but maybe childlock on.
What next?
