Front door stuck shut, need some help!

johan190 · 3rd January 2017, 17:38

Hi all!

I have had some problems with all my 4 doors for a couple of years now and I've learned to live with it somehow.

One back door is only opening from the inside and the other one only from the outside. The drivers door is only unlocked with the key in the lock and the passenger front is only unlocked and opened by pulling the handle from the inside two times. All doors are successfully locked with the remote though so I have gotten used to it..because i've been afraid to remove the door card..

But now it went too far. Came out one day and the passenger front door won't open from either the outside or inside, so I'm stuck with a shut door...

It does not open when I unlock it with the key but the inside lock knob is going up when I pull the inside handle once, and then nothing happens.

How do I remove the door card with a shut door??
And most importantly, how do I even open the door again??

Sorry for the long post, I hope anyone has some ideas or experience of this!

Cheers

Hi I am experiencing a similar problem to yours except the plunger isn't coming up already had to destroy the door card to gain access
Tried to open from inside the door with no success would appreciate any helpful tips you may receive

Hi Bryon, good to see you here.

Saw this post and thought I might have found the answer for you, but was pleasantly surprised.

Sure one of the guys will be along with an answer before too long!
