Can you go in through the boot?
If you can get under the car ,see if you can connect a battery charger or jumper lead to the starter motors positive terminal,(the big positive lead that comes from the battery) and the other negetive lead to the body somewhere.This might be enough to power the car up to get it unlocked.(dont try to start the engine like this).Just be careful how the cable is connected to the starter motor terminal.YOU DONT WANT TO SHORT ANYTHING OUT.Be very careful.Jacking up the car, and sitting it on some chassis stands would be the best way,so you can get a good view of it..

You can open the bonnet with a very long flat screwdriver by unscrewing the bonnet pin. Also can go in via the boot but you might need to break the plastic catch. Last suggestion is use a second car battery with leads attached to connect + lead to starter motor solenoid and other to car body - then central locking should work as car will have power.
When you get it open fix the door pronto!
