Default Passenger door won't open

I own a '67 coupe and I can no longer open the passenger door, either from the inside or the outside. The key turns the lock button on the inside, but the door latch appears to be the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions to get the door to open?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I " think" I remember that it happened to someone else on the Forum and he had to take the door panel off with the door closed ( which is probably not a simple job) and operate the lock mechanism by hand.

When I saw that I just thought I remembered it happened to someone before but would be hard to find in a search.

Thx, the links were a big help - I will try to open the door tonight by rolling the window down as the one suggests.

Take a good flash light and look down inside the door and see if you can see any of the rods that go to the latch.
