What to Do When the Car Won't Open?

[HarperFitz]

Check if the child lock inside the car is activated, preventing the door from opening; use the spare remote key to see if the remote is malfunctioning. If the remote key fails to open the door, you can also try using the mechanical key to turn it open. If none of the above reasons apply, it is likely a fault with the door lock mechanism itself, and you will need to contact a locksmith. Here is some additional information: 1. Car doors won't open in cold winter weather: In northern regions, winter temperatures are very low, often below freezing. After washing the car, residual water can accumulate in areas like the door handle, car lock, and door frame gaps. After a night of extreme cold, the water turns into ice, firmly freezing the door shut, making it impossible to open in the morning. 2. Rear doors won't open: If you can't open the rear doors from inside, this is not a malfunction—the child lock is the 'culprit.'
