    Try pushing in on outside of the door near the latch. If the handle now opens the door then the latch needs to be adjusted.

    Did you take the door apart recently?

    If the handle/latch cable fittings aren't snapped into place properly, sometimes they pop out of the fittings.

    When this happens, the handles are unable to operate the latches.
