Daihatsu Charade door

Hi
I really need some help. My Daihatsu Charade 2003 passager door decided to stick and wont open from inside or out . Its all sudden and I dont know how to fix it. The car has central locking but doesnt have a key fob. The locking works on all doors but front passanger and cant open it at all. I cant use the key for that door as it never worked I used to lock the car from drivers side lock . Please help.

Firstly you say it never worked so how did you open it prior I presume just by either pulling the little button up on the top of the door or by the interior handle I would imagine hat the door is now either dead locked or the door lock has fell to pieces no real solution here but struggle and try and get the door trim off with the door shut or remove the scraper moulding the one that sits against the window on the outside and see if you can see anything by shining a light into the gap etc I've had a few Skodas do this due to the wiring breaking between the door and the door pillar

Either carefully remove the door card/panel or get a spare one and just rip it off.

You will be able to access the lock from the inside then.

Thanks for the replies. I used to unlock it using the central locking on drivers site and once unlocked pulled the handle in or outside the car.
I will have to try to get the door panel removed. I forgot to add that when I bought the car the car dealer changed the locks around from the boot into my passanger door as the boot wouldnt open and i needed it for the pram. It happened before a few weeks ago but fixed itself after few hours of driving.
