If you pull the handle toward you , it should release and pop open. Pukenstein@aol.com
My van door is diabolical. Sometimes it opens just by pulling the handle but not always. You may have to use your right hand to open the handle and your left hand to pry the door away from the body a bit. On some models there is a child proof lock so it can't be opened from the inside. Make sure that isn't on if you're trying from the inside. desertsteppe@gmail.com
