My wife was locked in the car

Thanks, Frank.
My door pulls seem fine. It's the door lock mechanism causing the problem. All I can figure is the last person to work inside the door forgot to tighten those 2 bolts that hold the mech to the frame of the door and it's just hanging there by it's actuation rod.
Since that part is flopping around loose in there, I think it got jammed up in the door pull mechanism and that's why the door pull wouldn't work. Somehow, using the door key unjammed it allowing the door to open and allowing the lock mechanism to resume flopping around.
That sucks about those repro parts you have there. But, I bet you don't have any more problems after your fix.
