Question

I have a 1990 BMW 325i convertible that has been in storage in my garage for about 4 years. I have decided to see if I can get it ready to drive occasionally on weekends. However the passenger door lock will not turn/open, but the driver's door lock and the trunk lock work. How can I get the lock to open. I have tried to open the door from the inside but that does not work and I'm afraid that I will break the handle. I am also afraid of overturning the key and breaking it off in the lock. Help!!!
