Rocky, you didn't state if the door has auto locks or if you tried pushing the door open from the inside (with your feet) with someone holding to door opening mech from the outside. I have seen the elect locks on only the pass doors die. There was a recall on Lincs a while back..Tom...

What do you mean "the spring is twisted"?? One side is loose and jammed around the hinge......Both sides are intack and twisted around the hinge..
