I do not think going inside the door will help in this case. It seems as if someone got a handle off a 126 door without the key turning but I can't say for sure. Try the links to the 'DYI,' here. Use the search feature if you can't get a solution there.

Try spraying WD40 or Liquid Wrench in the lock and work the key in and out a little while twisting it gently. Don't be forceful with it just keep trying and spraying it. I would suggest you try a different key if you have one and perhaps a new key from the dealership if your key(s) won't work. The last one I bought from the dealer was twenty dollars.

You can get the handle off when the lock doesn't work. I posted my own experience in your other thread in the Tech Help forum. I got a seized lock assembly off my SDL about 6 months ago. Fiddly, but doable with some patience.
