09 Focus Driver door stuck closed

The wife got home from work and the drivers door handle wouldn't pull. It's like the door is still locked. The lock button won't pop up with the lock/unlock switch. I can hear the solenoid working and I can pull on the button but it won't pull up. (I had to unscrew it with tweezers cuz it was flush to the door panel) The key don't turn to unlock it so I need to climb over from the passenger side until I figure this out. Anybody else had trouble with the Focus doors?

OK, on my way to the dealer I thought I would try pulling on the passenger side button to see how hard it was on a good door. It was pretty hard but it does pull up. Went back to the stuck side and pulled a little harder and it popped up. Now it's un-stuck and working fine with the power lock key fob. Note self: leave the lock button unscrewed enough to be able to get to it in case this happens again.
