yep, my door handle was very loose and so i had to yank on it to open. if i had known all i had to do was remove the lock cylinder to fix it (haynes manual left that till last) i would have done that instead of taking the whole door apart. now i put it back together and i close the door and now it wont open. now it's not locked n it wont open even when i unlock the door. i dont have central locking so it cant be the deadlock can it?

furthermore does anyone know what the cable that runs into the locking interface does? because it became loose and pulled out, we put it back in but it could have fallen out again or it could have been put in the wrong way.
