Could be the cable which pulls the lock mechanism has come undone. There is a little hook on the end of a cable which pulls the lock closed.
If you take your door card off then you should be able to see if thats the problem.

It happened to me and I just had to squeeze the hook a little tighter with some pliers.


Hope its that simple :P
