So the door wont open from inside or outside? Do you have a RC key fob?

Sounds like the latch is stuck on deadlock .You will need to break it open to release the mechanism.Not too difficult as it is plastic.

The electric latch/actuator is the part that needs to be broken open.It is the part nearest the rear of the door and is usually made of white plastic.
