What to Do When the Sagitar Door Won't Open
2 Answers
The solution to a Sagitar door that won't open is to call 110 to find a locksmith company. Here are the reasons why the door may not open: 1. Temperature: In the northern winter, temperatures are very low. If water accumulated in the car lock, door frame, or handle is not dried after washing the car, it can easily freeze, causing the door to not open in the morning. Some anxious owners may try to pull the door forcefully, not realizing this can easily damage the car paint and seals, and in extreme cases, even break the door handle. 2. Child lock power failure: As is well known, to protect children's safety, many car rear doors are equipped with child locks. When the child lock is engaged, the rear door cannot be opened from the inside and can only be opened from the outside handle. If the car happens to lose power at this time, the door cannot be opened from the outside either. 3. Remote control failure: The car remote control is one of the most frequently used car components by owners, and it can also malfunction, leading to the door not opening.
I just encountered the issue of my Sagitar's door not opening yesterday. Initially, I thought the key fob battery was dead, but replacing it didn’t help. Later, I discovered that debris had jammed the lock cylinder, blocking the door handle. I carefully removed it with pliers, sprayed some lubricant into the lock, and successfully opened the door. In winter, door locks are prone to freezing—using a heater to warm them up can help. Additionally, electronic system failures, such as sensor malfunctions, can also prevent doors from opening, so it’s advisable to restart the vehicle’s system. Regularly check the door locks and key fob condition to avoid major problems. In summary, try multiple solutions, and if nothing works, seek professional repair instead of forcing the handle and causing damage.
