Default door lock & handle questions

I had planned to remove the outside door handle and rumble seat handle from our '28 Sport Coupe, and take them to the local locksmith tomorrow. But, I was not able to get the door handle off. I removed the screws above and below the handle but it still will not slide out. What am I missing?
Also, on the drivers side, the sliding lock knob locks and unlocks the door by being moved only a few thousandths of an inch, although the slot in the panel is approx 1/2" long. I have not yet removed either door panel because I can't tell what type hidden fasteners are holding them on. I guess I'll just have to go for it and pop one off and hope for the best, or take the car to a local upholstery shop and have them remove a panel for me.
I'm sure the procedure for locking the car is to lock the drivers door with the inside knob, then slide across, exit on the passenger side, and lock that door with the key, correct? Thanks.
