Oh, dude, when both handles are broken, you can try rolling down the window and using the exterior door handle, or you could crawl through the trunk if it's accessible. Worst case scenario, just call a locksmith or break a window - but like, maybe don't do that unless you're in a real pickle.
If both handles of a car are broken, you can still open the door by using the inside handle mechanism. You may need to remove the door panel to access the mechanism directly and manually pull the linkage or cable to release the door latch. This process may require some technical knowledge and tools, so it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional mechanic to avoid causing further damage to the door.
Well, isn't that a happy little challenge! If both handles are broken, you can try rolling down the window and using the outside edge to pull the door open. If that doesn't work, gently push on the door while pulling the handle to try and release the latch. Remember, there are always creative solutions waiting to be discovered - just like when we paint happy little accidents!
It may be possible to reach and manipulate the door opening mechanism with the right kind of wrench, but you would have to examine the broken handle to see if internal mechanisms can be reached. Failing that, it could be necessary to cut away some of the door to get at the internal mechanism. A car repair company would probably advise you to just install a new door.

the linkages to either the handles or the lock or both has come off. here's the kicker... you need to open the door to take of the inside door pannel to fix it. try to remove the pannel with the door closed. or a "skilled" vheicle locksmith could open it from the outside...but it's not cheap.

Jaguar XJ40 the rear doors will not open from the outside anymore only from inside - how do you fix this?
XJ40 door handles are made out of a very brittle metal that breaks easily. On the inside of the handle is a protruding arm into which is inserted a rod that is pushed down to release the latch when you pull up on the handle. The arm on your door handles is broken. You can buy rear handles on Ebay. Take care to get the proper year. 1988-1990 handles are smaller than 1991-1994 handles. The good news is that the rear handles are interchangable left to right, as they have the little arms at both sides of the handle. Kids and ham-handed buffoons do not mix well with XJ40 door handles.

REPLACE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES WITH AFTERMARKET PARTS. THEY ARE MORE DURABLE AND COST LESS THAN DEALER PARTS. YOUR LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE MAY HAVE SOME IN STOCK OR YOU CAN ORDER THEM FROM ONLINE PARTS RETAILERS. THERE IS A SMALL METAL PIECE THAT HAS BROKEN ON YOUR HANDLES INSIDE THE DOOR. YOU CAN REPLACE THEM YOURSELF. GET A HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL FROM YOUR LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON REMOVING THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL AND DOOR HANDLE REPLACEMENT. MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL THE DOOR HANDLES IN THE PROPER DOOR AS THEY ARE MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR RIGHT OR LEFT DOORS. IF YOU HAVE LARGE HANDS, YOU MAY NEED TO FIND SOMEONE WITH SMALLER HANDS TO GET AT THE BOLTS HOLDING THE HANDLES IN PLACE. BE VERY CAREFUL IN REMOVING THE OLD HANDLES. DO NOT PRY THEM OUT IF THE ARE STUCK AND DON/T OVER TIGHTEN THE NEW ONES. YOU MAY CRACK YOUR DOOR. IT IS MADE OF FIBERGLASS AND IF YOU DAMAGE THE MOUNTING HOLES, YOU WILL BE LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT DOOR.

Typically there is a series of rods on the inside of the door which converge near the handle to connect the inner and outer handles along with the lock. The plastic connector from the handle to the rod may be broken. Try taking the door panel off and inspecting the area.
