Door Lock and window problem related?

Just wondering if the fact that I'm having door lock problems is related to the problem I'm having with Drivers side window....window goes down OK, but BARELY makes it back up. Drivers side lock doesnt work AT ALL with key. Is there a common part that is causing BOTH problems?

if the door handle bracket is broken, it can 'hang' out into way way of the window mechanism coming back up. the window passes it on the way down.
