What to Do When the Passenger Door Cannot Be Opened from Inside or Outside?
2 Answers
If the passenger door cannot be opened from inside or outside, it can be sent to a repair shop for servicing. Below is an explanation regarding car doors: 1. Definition: Provides access for the driver and passengers to enter and exit the vehicle, isolates external disturbances, and to some extent mitigates side impacts to protect the occupants. 2. Inspection: For new car door inspections, first observe whether there are small ripples on the door frame, then check if there are any issues with the A-pillar, B-pillar, or C-pillar of the new car, and also inspect whether there is rust on the edges of the door frame. 3. Function: The aesthetics of the car are also related to the design of the doors. The quality of the doors is mainly reflected in their anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and of course, other functional indicators.
A few days ago, the passenger door of my car got stuck and wouldn't open from inside or outside, which really worried me. I first checked the child lock since SUV models have a small switch on the door edge that might have been accidentally triggered. I recalled kids playing around when I parked, and sure enough, it was locked. Pushing the door hard didn't work, and neither did trying the key remote unlock. Later, I gently pulled open the door handle cover and found the internal linkage had come off, jammed tightly. I carefully pried it open with a screwdriver, reattached the rod, and everything went back to normal. After this incident, I learned to be more careful about not letting debris fall into the door gaps and to lubricate the hinges regularly. I suggest you also start by checking the child lock, try unlocking with the key or manually, and if that doesn't work, get a professional inspection instead of forcing it and damaging the door.
