Suggest you treat MB2002's post with caution...
The problem of the flaps and/or slats locked is landing distance.
In most cases LDR will be less than 2,000m ...

As a matter of fact, unless you lose speeds indications, all you have to do is to PULL SPEED, then select VFE next - 5 kt and when there, select next config and repeat until you have CONF 3, and then select VLS. All of that without looking at any paper or ECAM.
... however controllability in an abnormal config may be an issue, so please perform ECAM, then the QRH procedure as a crew, calculate the VAPP correctly, including approach correction if applicable, and fly that speed on the approach... (but not below VLS).

take a look at the QRH in case you miss something
I had flaps locked between 1 and 2, once, during a visual approach at night and the captain just flew it like I said, except no QRH, no go around preparation. He landed nicely.
Remember that the QRH is not there as a backup for Supermen, however "nice" their landings may be. Do it the professional way...
