Finally got the door latch mechanism removed. Used a dremel tool and long drill bits to remove rivet heads and rectangular tabs. I was then able to pry the mechanism apart enough where the door would then release and open. With the door open, I then removed the three philips screws and finagled the mechanism out. I found a piece of broken plastic inside inside the mechanism jamming things up. It looks like a piece fro the ferrel used to guide the push/pull knob up and down. Ordered a new door latch from Ecklers.
