What to Do When the Mechanical Key Also Fails to Open the Car Door?
1 Answers
Incorrect key turning direction. In most cases, turning the key clockwise unlocks the door, while turning it counterclockwise locks it. You can try adding some engine oil into the lock cylinder to lubricate it and see if it can be opened. If it still doesn't work, the lock cylinder needs to be replaced. In most cases, mechanical keys don't have significant issues. If there is a problem, it might be due to a later duplicated key that is incomplete and requires replacement.
