'60 Driverside door latch issue, HELP!

Last year sometime I installed a new door latch assembly on my 60s driver's door. Worked great for a while then started to get hard to push the outer door handle button in to open the door. It started acting up, sticking, so I disassembled it and lubed it up. Seemed to work but eventually got too hard to open from the outside. For a while you could still crawl in from the passenger side and open the door from the inside. But now neither will open the door. I've been trying to figure out what I can do to get the door open. Currently the seat and the inside door plates are still installed.
Anybody had this issue or have any ideas on what I can do to get my driver side door to open?
Not sure why my iPad changed drivers side to Riverside.

Sounds like time to remove the inside panel and lay on the floor and see what is going on time!
