MG Midget and Sprite Technical - door locks

my 75 midget door lock has locked in closed position have taken off inside panel is tere a hook i can use to open door so i can replace fault help Andy
aw wiley

Andy. It sounds like the lock lever on the latch mechanism has become disengaged from the fork on the end of the lock barrel.
Try winding the window down and shine a torch down the window slot. You should be able to see if this is the case. Try to get a long thin screw driver down the slot and push the lever down. It happened to me last week and this method worked. You can then bend the lever a bit so that it engages further into the fork.
Hope this helps.

Bernie.
