I can open my door on my 2004 with the central locking fuse #26 removed.
There are obviously contacts in the lock assembly that actuate the central locking pump when the key is turned but the driver door is opened when using the key with the central locking system disabled.
I doubt that 2004's are different so there may be a problem with the lock in the OP's car. The problem being that the lock cylinder is not connected to the lock mechanism.
Naturally Chuck Norris would have no problem with locks anyway, two suitably placed packs of plastic explosive would have the whole door off before you had time to dial a locksmith.
