permanently locked car door

[mollykins]

As you may know, I went to see harry potter at the weekend. After it finished, my friends mum gave us a lift a home. However the door on my side wouldn't open, and still won't!

What could cause this? . . .

. . . there is no childlock mechanism, we tried locking it and unlocking it. And opening it from in/outside. it's a complete mystery . . . . . In the end, instead of dropping me off at the end of my road, they took me up into my driveway, so that I could get out of the other side safely, without having to walk out into a main road . . .

Horseshoes, we missed you, but be glad you weren't here over the weekend. We won't go over it again, but it was horrid, This post is very welcome light relief - well done molly!

Boxtops may have stumbled across the answer earlier ... Molly, have you tried giving it a hefty kick?

[Barmaid]

Just to clarify - said hefty kick needs to be delivered from the INSIDE. Not the outside.......

[NazNomad]

Percussive maintenance does not discriminate between inside or outside. The important thing is knowing where to kick it ... and how hard.

[Barmaid]

I was thinking what a massive dent it might leave if you delivered a hefty kick to the outside of the door. But I do like my paintwork "just so". Fussy cow, me.

i think a good kick from inside would be best unless molly's friend has a car that has doors that open inwards

[NazNomad]

:-) Good point. We do need to know what car is in question and if a hefty kick would decrease it's value (or increase it).

hahahaha at SB and Bernie what a kick you must get each time Molly posts -I do - at you 2 grown ups expence:))))
Molls -guess the pertinent advice given would have been what I would have said -my double glazed house windows were frozen shut and I have had the heating on virtually all the time.Think they have to apply WD40 once they get it open -cant freeze oil - or can you?

[NazNomad]

Yes, you can freeze oil ... but you wouldn't want to be opening doors if it were that cold anyway.

I just got this message from my friend; Its fixed now, apparently its a common problem with the make of car, when my mum told the mechanics, they just laughed as they get it all the time :)
