69 vette door

Cannot open doors.Car has been outside for 20 years.Key dose not actuate any mechanism.Looking through windows it seems passenger side locked drivers side unlocked.Drivers side door can be pulled open about one half inch only.Door jam latch frozen?Any suggestions on how to gain entry to interior.Also does one key fit door and ignition.

Using a can of WD40 with a plastic spray extension can you spray the door latch mechanism. One key works door and ignition. Second key is for inside storage and spare tire lock.

I cannot see the striker on the door jam. I guess my only option is to spray down door jam, in key hole and down window in hopes penetrating oil will travel and free something up.Thanks for the key info.
