Most door panels pop off. Be sure you have any and all screws out, look for decorative plugs hiding them, especially on the arm rest/door pull handle. Then start at the bottom and pop the panel off. Sounds like this migh tbe a bad latch assembly or the such if neither handle will open it. Does the lock work? it may be stopping the handles from working as well
