1: Angle grinder the previous latch until it opens.

2: Screw on a simple gate latch from the hardware store ($5)

3: If you want to be really fancy, add a decent padlock to that latch ($10)

Done.

    no need for the noise of the angle grinder, the handle is all plastic and came off easily with a hacksaw with a metal blade

    I suppose there's already body rust on the car, so some screws into the panel won't hurt it too much

    although the whole point of this exercise was to be able to open the door from the inside and pass safety inspection
