Door Won't Lock

[laxands13]

Hey guys, i have a 93 hatch and as of about 2 weeks ago my passenger door won't lock. I have a Viper alarm that locks the drivers door and is good but won't lock the passenger side. I also can't just push the lock "button" like i used to be able to, and i can't lock it using the key from the outside. It just refuses to turn. I took my door apart but i cant see anything in the way of it. Any suggestions?

Same thing happened to BOTH my doors then one day i tried to close my door and it bounced back open so i tried it again and it got locked shut for like 4 months. I finally ordered new locks but have yet to swap them.

I drive a 96 zenki so it may or may not be different. The way I fixed it so far was since the door was locked shut I couldn't get the door panel off so I pulled on it as hard as i could for about 15 minutes and managed to rip it off. then by buddy used the handle of a swiffer to somehow pop the door open. The door works now but cant be locked. I have a new lock im going to put in tomorrow so ill let you know how that goes.
