My drivers side door is stuck closed and has a Broken lock so the key wont unlock it from the outside, also it wont start but the superlock is engaged. Does anyone know how to get the door open or unlocked in some way so I can fix it? The drivers side door lock doesnt even rotate if I put the key in and it wont open from the inside any advice how to get it open? I already called a locksmith but he had no luck he just said that my actuator was busted and he had no idea how to fix it with the door closed. He tried using a "slim jim" on it but had no luck then he said he could not help me and left. Does anyone have any advice or help for me? I have been borrowing cars and hitching rides for about a week or so. HELP!!!

 

You are going to need to remove the inner door panel and access the door lock mechanism in there. It can be done with the door closed, but it is not simple.

I'm sure someone who has dealt with it more recently will chime in soon.

Fix your door locks and remote locks, people!!!

 

Lube the living-daylights out of the key lock in the door handle, spraying WD40 into the key recess. Keep trying to turn the lock with the key, working it back and forth gently. Eventually, it should start moving. Just be patient and keep lubing it. You can also remove the outer window glass trim piece (lower section), by gently prying it upward with a puddy knife, just be careful not to scratch the paint, use masking tape if you have too along edge of lower trim piece. Once removed, it will allow you to spray down the locking mechanism inside the door.
