I was installing a new set of handles when I accidently bumped into the passenger-side back door, shutting it, and resulting in the door not opening anymore. The lock must of clamped shut, I am not sure if it's the childlock or something like that because I tried flipping the switch back up and that didn't even work. I tried most of the obvious and I'm figuring that I'm going to have to try to remove the lock. Now, I know there are three screws to drop the lock, but since the door is locked shut, how the hell do i remove the black lock assembly. Here is a pic of the setup.



Let me know if anyone has any tips or any other ways that I can figure what is wrong with the lock.

if you have the door panels off there should be the metal little bars that hook onto the door latch and everything. if it was working fine before everything and you didnt mess wth the latch at all, it should open up. usually at my shop, if we have a frozen latch, we have to break the latch to get the door free and order new latch assembly.
