Why Can the Car Door Still Be Opened When the Central Lock Is Engaged?

[SanKarter]

Even when the central locking system is engaged, the doors can still be opened from the inside. Manufacturers state that this design is intended to prevent situations where occupants might be unable to open the doors in an emergency. Below are the main functions of the central locking system: 1. Central Control: When the driver locks their door, all other doors are simultaneously locked. The driver can unlock all doors via the door lock switch or open a specific door individually. 2. Speed Control: When the vehicle reaches a certain speed, all doors automatically lock to prevent accidental opening by passengers manipulating the door handles. 3. Individual Control: In addition to the driver’s door, other doors are equipped with separate spring lock switches, allowing independent control over the locking and unlocking of each door.
