What is the issue when the car door cannot be opened from both inside and outside?
2 Answers
Here are the reasons why the car door cannot be opened from both inside and outside: 1. The central locking system is not unlocked. The solution is to press the central locking switch on the driver's control panel to unlock it. 2. The child lock on the individual door is activated. The solution is to open the door from the outside, observe the side of the door for a child lock, and toggle the switch to deactivate it. Below is an introduction to car doors: 1. A car door provides access for the driver and passengers and isolates external disturbances, to some extent reducing side impacts and protecting occupants. The aesthetics of the car are also related to the design of the doors. 2. The quality of a car door is mainly reflected in its anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and other functional indicators. Anti-collision performance is particularly important because, in the event of a side collision, the buffer distance is very short, making it easy to injure occupants inside the vehicle. 3. A good car door should have at least two anti-collision beams, which are relatively heavy. This means that good car doors are indeed somewhat heavier, but it does not necessarily mean that the heavier the door, the better it is.
As a seasoned driver with nearly a decade of experience, I've encountered the frustrating issue of car doors not opening, especially when they're stuck both inside and out. This could be due to a jammed door lock mechanism or an activated child lock. For mechanical locks, rust or debris clogging the keyhole is common; for electronic systems, a blown control module or fuse can also be the culprit. Avoid yanking or prying the door open, as this can damage the door frame or paint, worsening the problem. Always check the child lock switch near the door first—rear doors are particularly prone to this. For safety, if trapped inside the car, breaking a window is an emergency option, but it's best to seek help from a mechanic. Regular maintenance, like applying lubricant to the lock cylinder, can prevent such issues—don't skimp on this simple step.
