Frame compartment latch came out and can't get the compartment door off now.
I have a 2019 Trek Domane SL5. This morning the locking lever for the frame compartment door came out and I can't get the door off now. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can get the door off to access what's inside without breaking the door?

BTW - Welcome to bike forums, just notice this was your first post.
I was going to suggest... Catch is broken, so Break door and replace.
But it appears to be a $60 part

Thanks for the advise Barry. I messed with it some more and put an Allen wrench in the hole and saw there was a pin hole so I tried to use the wrench to turn it. Well it didn't turn but it did essentially dislodge the lock so I could remove it. The problem was that the pin that held the locking mechanism to the outside handle had worked its way out. So I put it backing a pliers. All good now! Thanks for the help though! I was trying to avoid having to replace it and I was hoping to avoid having to take it to a bike shop and have to pay them to get it out.
