beater, broke door handles

Well both of the door handles on my 87 beater broke and both of the windows are rolled up. I can't get into the hatch either cause the keylock for the hatch is frozen in place, i am afraid that i am going to break the key off in it. Short of busting out the side window, anyone got a clue how i can get in.

Try moving the key rapidly up and down while turning it. I had the same problem. Takes awhile, but it worked when I had that problem.

If that doesn't work, call a locksmith. $45 or so to get you in.
