Default Busted Door

My dad used my car yesterday and broke the drivers door handle and now the door will not open. Does anyone know where I can get a breakdown of the door assembly on line? I need to know what to look for when I get the door panel off. Nothing is rattling that I can hear but the damn door will not open. First and last time he borrowed my car....

door handles are cheap and easy to replace but you will need a big daddy rivet gun and 1'4 inch aluminum rivets. The commonly break i bought a pair off ebay brand new for less than $20

Thos are some big rivets. 1 foot 4 inch rivets are over kill. 1/4" will do lol.

Is the actual handle attached to the outside of the door broken or is the handle attached but wont open the door?
