Drivers door won't open from both inside & outside! Help needed ASAP

Drivers door won't open from both inside & outside!

I've just done the handle fix, all went really well and back together perfectly, I made sure it was all working before I put the door card back on and all was fine.

Put the door card on, closed the door, then opened, not a problem.

Locked the door with the key, unlocked it, and now it wont open from the outside or the inside!!

Also seems like the internal pin when locked doesn't seem to go dwn as far as it used to

Please someone help

I've managed to get the door card back of with enough access to make sure the external handle is still connected, and its fine

Thanks in advance

John
