PVC Door handle/locking mechanism not working

    So I have PVC back door where the handle doesn't open the door anymore, I used too much force pushing it down one day and the handle went down but not like normal and did not move any of the 3 locking mechanisms, 1 higher, 1 lower and 1 in the middle.

    I can now pull the handle up and down but it doesn't do anything so the door is stuck closed right now, I screwed the front face of the handle off and there was a broken plastic washer, but not much else I could tell was wrong.

    Any ideas of how I could fix this? I don't want to have to spend a lot of money on a locksmith.

    Thank you!

    Can you post a picture of the door and the door handle? I'd have a fair idea of the lock by seeing a picture of the door
