Door won't open

[travis6370]

I can't get my passenger door open on my 69 F100 w/ F250 doors. One time I randomly tried and it opened with ease, but from the day I got her the door has been jammed shut. Any ideas where to start ?

The tonage of the truck doesn't make any difference. If neither the outter or inner door handles work, you could remove the interior door panel to determine the problem. I don't know of any other way to get the door open

Ditto, or try opening it while lifting on the handle.

I got my truck with only the outdoor handles working. If I wanted to open from the inside, I had to put my hand on the outside.

I fixed both though. Here's what I did.

I took off the window handle, inner door handle, armrest, and door latch. Then I took the panel off. Then, I put on a headlamp and grabbed a flash light.

I pulled on the door knock knob. I saw what bar it was connected too. I then bent the bar thus making it shorter. I made sure to keep the knob as straight as possible.

Since the panel was off I sprayed the inside of the doors with rust reformer and painted the panels white to offset so much black.

If you want to change the knob caps, now the time.

If it's stuck from the outside, I'd just replace the locking mechanism.
