Doors won't open

The side doors and the rear door will not open on my 1996 E350. I tried the unlock button for the power door locks and I tried to open them from the inside and they will not budge.
Since I got this van the remote entry would lock and unlock all the doors except the driver's door. The driver's door would not unlock and when I used the key to get in and opened the door the theft alarm would go off. Any ideas as to what the problem could be.
Thank you

Aside from the power locks, if you work the locks with the key and if the door(s) still don't open then I'd have to guess the cable ends have deteriorated which is common on these vans.
