What are the reasons for a car door not being able to open?

The reasons for a car door not being able to open are: 1. The remote key is out of battery, preventing the door from opening; 2. The remote control is malfunctioning; 3. The door lock mechanism itself is faulty, or the door lock cable is not functioning; 4. The door has been subjected to external force, causing deformation of the door hinge or lock post. Solutions for a car door that won't open include: 1. Using a spare key; 2. Contacting a qualified and professional locksmith; 3. Calling the after-sales rescue hotline; 4. Using tape to pull the window glass open forcibly; 5. Using a sharp object to remove the door seal and inserting a wire through the gap to press the unlock button.
I've encountered the situation where the car door won't open several times. As a new driver who just got my license, I think the most common reason is that the door lock gets frozen in cold winter weather, making the handle hard to pull. Another frequent issue is when the key fob battery dies or the remote signal fails, which is quite common with older cars or cheaper remotes. Additionally, if there are children in the car, they might have accidentally activated the child safety lock setting - this is something new car owners often overlook. My suggestion is to first try using a hairdryer to blow warm air at the lock for a few minutes to melt the ice, or spray some de-icer. If that doesn't work, check if the key battery needs replacement, and make sure to operate in a warm environment to avoid frostbite. Parking indoors whenever possible can help prevent such troubles.
