The most common problems of entrance door blocks are violations in the locking mechanisms. Often seizes the lock. Such problems appear suddenly and for the simplest reasons, usually due to damage to the original key. There may also be problems in the front door locking block due to worn parts.

The most common problem of locks are disruptions in the mechanism of the larvae. Because its replacement in most cases is the main way to solve problems. Replacing the entire lock is extremely rarely required.

Disassembly and replacement of the lock

In order to correct the problems that have arisen, it is necessary to know how to disassemble the lock installed on the canvas of the entrance door or embedded into it. The principles of disassembling the locking mechanisms are somewhat different from each other and primarily depend on the placement of the device.

Regardless of what standard was used to manufacture the cylinder lock, it’s common for them to be able to replace the mechanism of the larva. To disassemble the lock you will need a screwdriver.

Initially unscrew the fastening screw of the locking mechanism. The most frequent location of fasteners - on the end of the lock strips. To remove the larva, the screw is unscrewed counterclockwise. Quite often, to extract the mechanism of the castle larvae, it is necessary to press a little on the inside. Often remove the mechanism does not allow special mounting clips. In order to remove the larva when they are available, a small key is turned in the keyhole. This will allow the cylinder to be easily removed.

Despite the almost complete external identity of cylinder larvae, when buying a replacement device, it is necessary to compare their sizes. In case of discrepancy between the holes and the dimensions of the mechanism, its installation will be impossible.

When installing a new part, the cylinder is placed in the existing hole and is fixed with a screw. For exact hit in grooves it is recommended to move a little a secret in the lock block a little. However, this procedure should be performed with the key inserted into the hole and turned to the “closed” position.

Mortise

In mechanisms of this type in case of malfunctions it is not always possible to replace individual elements. Most often, a new lock is required for installation on the front door. The reasons for this are in the design of the device. Not all locks of this type contain removable elements.

To disassemble the device, you must have a socket wrench and a set of various screwdrivers on hand. The removal process consists of the following steps:

• First you need to remove the door handle. For this, in most designs, it is simply pulled out after removing the fasteners;
• The decorative overlay is removed;
• When disassembling models with a missing tab, the fastening elements are unscrewed on the front part of the door leaf.

When choosing a replacement locking mechanism, it is much more convenient to make a purchase of a device with similar dimensions. This will allow installation immediately without the need for additional hole fitting procedures.

Overhead

For the dismantling of the overhead lock, the removal of the locking elements located in the end part of the door leaf is initially performed. After that, the decorative trim is removed and the remaining fastening screws are unscrewed.

The installation process is strictly in reverse order.

Hinged

The process of dismantling and disassembling a hinged type lock device is the simplest. To do this, using a suitable screwdriver, you must remove the fasteners. Next, the protective case is removed and the supporting mechanisms are removed. Some models of padlocks require the removal of a number of fasteners.

Thus, understanding the principle of dismantling and disassembling the mechanism, it is easy to understand how to act to reassemble the padlock of the entrance door after replacing the defective parts.

To facilitate the process and control the correctness of the location of parts, we recommend that you photograph each of the disassembly steps.

Common lock issues

Since there are no perfect mechanisms, over time, any of them may cause problems. The main reasons for the malfunction of the locking mechanism are:

• Mechanical damage;
• Non-compliance with the operating mode;
• Distortion or sagging of the door leaf;
• Failure to install door technology.

The main measures for preventing jamming of the locking mechanism are regular lubrication of the structural elements and cleaning them from accumulated dust. Also, for durable and high-quality operation of the device, it is necessary to observe a number of rules:

• The use of protective covers is recommended. Their presence will provide protection against the ingress of various foreign objects and the accumulation of dust;
• The use of non-native keys, as well as duplicates of poor quality entails the jamming of the unlocking mechanism;
• Mechanical damage to keys resulting from improper use also causes damage;
• Power manipulations with the lock, as well as the sharp slamming of the door leaf also adversely affect the operation of the mechanism.

Incomplete key entry

The main reasons for this phenomenon are:

• Dust accumulated in the mechanism;
• The presence of foreign objects in the well, including key fragments;
• Mechanical damage.

The first measure to eliminate contamination and restore proper operation of the device is disassembling the lock and lubricating its elements. The best tool that can properly lubricate the front door lock is a specialized spray WD-40. In the absence of it, you can use machine oil or kerosene. Lubricants are poured into the keyhole opening with a pipette, a medical syringe, or an oiler.

After the lubrication procedure, the key in several passes is gradually inserted into the keyhole and is also carefully removed. After several approaches you can try to open the lock. In some cases, for the full entry of the key requires the removal of the decorative plates.

In the presence of foreign objects, their extraction is carried out by scraping with a small hook or tweezers. You can also use a brush. However, you should use a product with stiff bristles so that in the process of manipulating the hairs in any case does not remain inside the mechanism.

The key can not be removed

Problems of such a plan most often result from the breakdown of internal mechanisms. You can remove the key with WD-40 spray, which is used to process the keyhole. After such manipulations the key, slightly shaking in different directions, must be slowly pulled out. In cases where the key broke right in the keyhole, if you need to pull it out with pliers or another tool. To do this, you can pre-remove the larva lock mechanism.

In order to avoid re-occurrence of a problem, replacement of a lock cylinder is required.

The mechanism jams when turning the key

In this situation, there are several options. In the case of normal operation of the device with the door leaf open and problems occur in the closed state, it is necessary to bore the box. Manipulations are performed at the point of entry of the lock bolt into the groove.

When jamming the locking mechanism in both positions of the door leaf, it is necessary to clean the device from the accumulated debris and lubricate the components. In extreme cases, it may be necessary to replace the mechanism.

Jammed tongue

For the initial elimination of the problem, any available item with sufficient flexibility and rigidity is used. A metal ruler, an unnecessary plastic card or a knife is perfect for such purposes.

The selected item is gently and smoothly inserted in the area between the door and the frame at the location of the tongue. Push it to the depth sufficient to touch the far end of the tongue. After that, attempts are made to push the jammed part.

Subsequently, in order to avoid repeating the problem, it is necessary to disassemble the device and clean and lubricate the parts. In some cases it may be necessary to replace the motor elements of the structure.

The lock is the part of the door that protects the room from outside intrusion. Door locks require constant monitoring and care. However, even with the timely care of the device, various malfunctions can occur, which can be repaired on their own. What to do if the door lock is broken? A detailed answer to this question can be found by reading this article.

If the front door lock is broken

On the most often set the following types of locks:

• cylinder. The mechanism of the secret part is made in the form of a cylinder, which gave the name to the type of lock;

• suvaldnye. The device works by placing metal plates, called levers, in a specific order;

• code. Most often used for access doors, as well as office and utility rooms.

The first thing that needs to be done when a lock breaks down is to find out what type of device is installed on the front door.

Typical failures and solutions

Let us consider in more detail what to do if the entrance door lock is broken. Among the most common damage can be distinguished:

1. the latch of the locking mechanism is not included in the reciprocal bar. This door lock malfunction can occur for several reasons:
   • the skew of the door leaf;
   • skewed door frame;
   • locking mechanism with a padlock plate;
   • loosening and loosening of the locking device.

• fix all fasteners with a screwdriver;
• straighten the door and / or box. Editing of a door occurs due to adjustment of loops. If the problem is in the door frame, then you need to reinstall the striker in the right place;
• if the tongue locking occurs with an overlay plate, then the lock must be disassembled, straighten the position of the locking device and set the plate in place.

All listed works are made without involvement of specialists.

1. the door is hard to open. Repair of the front door lock for this fault consists in adjusting the door leaf and lock;
2. seizes the door lock. Poorly inserted and / or hard to turn the key. This failure most often occurs due to clogging of the mechanism. To fix the problem, you need:
   • carefully disassemble the mechanism;
   • clean all internal elements. For cleaning the small parts used hard dry brush. Larger parts are wiped with a rag;
   • lubricate the device;
   • assemble the mechanism and conduct several opening cycles for the planned distribution of the lubricant.

1. jamming of the locking device. This problem is the most serious. To eliminate it, it will be necessary to replace the secret part of the lock.

Replacing the lock

Many lock locks can be reprogrammed by the user. The reprogramming process consists in changing one or several suvaldnyh plates. If the locking mechanism has such a function, then it is necessary:

• purchase a new set of levers. New keys are included with the kit;

• sort plates by identity;
• for the convenience of further installation, apply markings on each pair of levers;
• install a deadbolt in the case;
• to install the levers according to the scheme, which is attached to the kit or by the selection method, based on the key's free travel;

• assemble the lock and check its performance.

The process of replacing plates of the level lock is described in detail in the video.

Cylinder lock cylinder replacement

How to fix a cylinder type door lock if necessary? This will require:

• new secret part of the locking mechanism. In order to correctly select the lock cylinder, it is recommended to pre-disassemble the device and measure the parameters of the central part. The easiest way to do this is to turn to a specialty store with the cylinder removed, where sellers will select the device they need;

• crosshead screwdriver.

Repair locks with their own hands, which is to replace the cylinder, is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. on the end side of the door at the location of the lock plate there is a bolt fixing the secret part of the mechanism. In order to remove the mask from the lock, it is necessary to loosen this lock using a screwdriver;

1. after loosening the fastener, the cylinder should easily come out of the housing;

If the cylinder is not removed from the body, then you need to insert the key, twist it in half a turn and pull it slightly.

1. measure and purchase a new cylinder and a set of keys, which is attached to the secret part;

1. insert the cylinder into place and secure it with a mounting bolt;

1. check the operation of the lock.

Repair pad lock also depends on the type of device and is fully consistent with the above schemes.

Repair code lock

To repair a code lock, in various situations it is necessary to be guided by the diagrams presented above. Reprogramming of the mechanical device is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. the lock is removed from the door and disassembled. For it is enough to dismantle the button panel;
2. under each button is a plate that drives the locking mechanism;
3. plates, which are directed obliquely inside the lock, are active;
4. to change the code, turn the operating plates to the edges of the lock, and those that will take part in the code combination, to the center of the device.

1. assemble the lock and install it on the front door.

Recoding electronic locks is made without removing the device using the lock control panel or a special key included in the kit.

Breakage of locks of interior doors and how to eliminate them

Broke down the door lock interior door? The first thing that needs to be done is to identify the cause of the breakdown. Common problems include:

1. dropping tongue locking device. Such a breakdown is most often caused by a spring holding the tongue. To repair an interior lock, you need:
   • disassemble the lock;
   • change the spring;
   • assemble mechanism.

All work can be carried out without removing the lock from the door.

1. repair of the handle of the lock in connection with the loosening of the device is made with a screwdriver of the desired diameter. Before fastening, it is recommended to clean and lubricate the locking mechanism;
2. sticking of locking latch. How to fix the lock on the door in a similar situation? Causes of failure can be:
   • the displacement of the internal elements of the device. The problem is corrected by parsing the lock and editing the offset elements. In some cases, they may need to be replaced;
   • deformation and / or normal wear of locking mechanisms, the formation of cracks. To eliminate the problem, it is necessary to replace unsuitable for operation elements. To make a replacement, it is recommended to contact the store, where experienced staff will help you choose the component parts.
3. if a key lock is installed on the interior door, it is worthwhile to read above how to repair such a device.

In most cases, repairing locks does not take much time and does not require special knowledge and skills. In order for the locking device to serve for a long period of time and not to break, it is required to constantly look after it, cleaning the locking mechanism from dirt and dust and lubricating it.

The door construction is designed to protect the apartment from unwanted penetration. However, it happens that due to a failed lock or forgotten keys, the owner of the house cannot enter the dwelling. What to do in this situation? There are several ways to break a lock without the help of a wizard, but they need to be used carefully, otherwise you risk damaging the locking mechanism.

The front door lock is a reliable mechanism that protects your apartment from hacking and entering. However, if it so happened that the apartment owner himself cannot open the door, then such a protective function will not play into your hands.

If you can not get into the apartment because of a forgotten key, then the lock can be easily opened with a pin or other improvised means. In the case when the door lock is jammed, you first have to figure out the cause of the breakdown, and only then act.

Often the lock on the front door is jammed due to mistakes made during the installation of the door structure. To avoid such troubles, you need to know the moments that can lead to jamming of the door.

Because of what the door lock can break:

1. If the door is too heavy and large, then two hinges may not be enough to hold it. It is because of this that the lock can begin to jam.
2. The hinges are not on the same level, why the door is not exactly enough. In this case, the canvas will be difficult to open, and the lock will quickly break.
3. A rubber seal of poor quality can quickly wear out, which will prevent the lock from working. To avoid this problem, try not to use Chinese fittings when installing the door.
4. If the gap between the iron door frame and the leaf is too small, then you risk getting a permanently wedged lock.

Also, measurements taken incorrectly from the doorway can cause such trouble. In order not to try to figure out why the lock is jammed, take responsibility for all stages of the door installation.

Outside clicks during door opening, key slipping or tight closing of the mechanism may be the heralds of the lock breakage. If you have seen one of the symptoms, then it’s best to call the wizard, who will help you understand the cause of the problem.

Various technical problems, and how to open the door lock

The reasons for which can jam the lock quite a lot. Often it is impossible to find out for certain why the door is jammed. We will describe to you several ways to hide a lock for different occasions. You can try out a few of them.

What to do if the lock is jammed:

1. If the wooden door does not open, then perhaps it is swollen due to high humidity. In this case, it needs to be dried with heaters, after which it will sit down a bit and the lock will quietly open. The open door must be cleaned of swollen paint and milled in deformed areas.
2. Also, sometimes the door does not open due to skewing. This may be due to weak loops that are unable to support the weight of the web. To fix such a problem you will have to push a screwdriver into all the slots of the door and shake it. Where the screwdriver will sit firmly, and the problem lies. In this place you need to insert a wooden or metal lever, such as the same screwdriver, and lift the door, trying to put it in place. After the problem is resolved, you can check if the key is turning in the lock. If yes, the reason is found.
3. If the key is turned, but the door still does not open, then, most likely, it is a tongue. When this element is stuck, you can safely use a plastic card, a ruler or a knife. The card is inserted into the gap between the canvas and the box so that the plastic slides along the tongue bevel. The latch is pressed into the door with the help of a card, and at this moment the handle goes down and the door opens. If the interior door lock has broken from the inside, then the same tools will come to your aid. In this way, you can crack the jammed lock yourself without damage.
4. If you opened the dead lock and your key broke off, it will be quite difficult to find yourself in the apartment. You can try to pull out the key fragments through the keyhole with a jigsaw, but most likely you will have to remove the door from the hinges outside.
5. If the door closes on slamming, and the person forgot to remove the key, then you need to push it out from behind the lock. To do this, you can use a thin needle or a thick long needle. If there is a large enough gap under the door so that the key can crawl through it, a newspaper is inserted into it so that the tool can be opened to open the lock.

Independently open the door is quite possible. One of the above methods is most likely suitable for your case.

If the balcony door is closed. And your little child can not get into the apartment from this dangerous room, then you need to immediately call the Ministry of Emergency Situations. While help is coming to you, you can try to open the door yourself.

If you can not get into the apartment, but you have nowhere to hurry, better wait for the arrival of the master. Self-breaking the lock, you can accidentally break the door.

Broken lock in the iron door: how to open

If you are sure that it is the door lock that has jammed, then be prepared for not the most pleasant work. The fact is that a broken locking mechanism cannot always be repaired without causing damage to the metal door leaf.

Like all metal mechanism, locks need careful care. If the key turns, and the lock does not open, before moving on to tough measures, try lubricating the metal structure with oil or kerosene.

After you tried to open the metal door with a key, smeared the lock with oil and made sure that no foreign objects got into it, you can proceed to the analysis of the broken mechanism. Change then the lock will not be very difficult.

What to do if jammed English castle:

• First of all, using a drill, a cylindrical mechanism is removed;
• Further the larva of the lock is taken out;
• The wire is hooked to the drive mechanism, and the bolts must fit into the lock case.

If you do not have a tool with which you can drill a cylindrical mechanism, you need to rest a metal object in the lock and hit it with a hammer. If the impact was strong enough, then the internal mechanism should fly out.

A safe with a mechanical lock can be opened in the manner described by us. Now there are repositories for valuable items with more reliable combination locks.

Also, the locks are opened by removing the handle and pushing the latching mechanism. By the way, a damaged handle or door is a sure sign of unauthorized hacking.

How to open the door lock with a pin or screwdriver

If you cannot get into the apartment not because of the jammed lock, but because you have forgotten or lost the key, you can open the door with a pin or screwdriver. A thin but strong wire or clip may also be suitable.

If the door that needs to be opened has a level lock, then the door needs to be pulled over; a wire is pushed through the keyhole and the levers are moved away. This mechanism is usually possessed by interior doors.

The cylinder lock can also be opened with an invisible hairpin broken into two pieces. To do this, you need to drill a thin hole over the hole, parts of the barrette are pushed in there. One part needs to raise the stopper and the other to remove the bolt.

Despite the fact that it seems that it is very easy to open the doors, you can believe that it is much more difficult to open a real lock than to break the game doors of an arkntamse, Korvanyund, or a location called Ashen Fortress.

Almost any lock can be opened with the most ordinary screwdriver. To do this, unscrew the upper part of the locking mechanism, insert a screwdriver into the well and carefully turn it. By the way, this method is also suitable if your door handle is broken.

How to break the lock in the door

In life there are situations in which there is a need to imperceptibly ruin the lock. We will not give the possible reasons for this vandalism, but tell you how it can be done quietly and without unnecessary noise.

If you decide to break the castle, take revenge on your neighbors, then we hasten to warn you that such actions are illegal and lead to criminal liability.

If you decide to break the lock, not to harm others, but for some other reason, known only to you, then you can use one of the methods we have cited.

How to imperceptibly ruin the castle:

• Drive a turnkey hole with matches, chewing gum, clay, coin or foam;
• You can brew a hole in the lock;
• Insert a similar key into the keyhole and break it, leaving debris in the lock;
• Strongly lower the handle down to the crunch, and the tongue will burst, which will make it impossible to get into the house without the help of a master.

Any of these options can quickly and effortlessly break the door. However, in the latter case, the cause of the breakdown cannot be immediately detected.

Who to call if the lock broke in the door

If you think that you will not be able to open the lock yourself, then you probably will not open the door yourself. Then before you will be the question: "Who to call in the event of a lock failure?".

If you could not find the reason why the lock was jammed, then it is better to immediately call the master. Otherwise, you can damage the expensive door construction.

How to open the door without a key yourself (video)

In the event of such a problem, it would be wise to contact a mechanic. However, if in the apartment into which you cannot get one small child remains, it is better to immediately contact the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

If you have jammed the lock, then you can try to open it yourself. However, remember that by applying this knowledge, to break into someone else's apartment, you risk falling behind bars.

Very often, the door locks are treated with some disdain. Well it works and it works, that you pay attention to it. But everything changes when you come home, but you can not enter - jammed the lock. How to get in the door? What to do? Of course, this is the most difficult of the variety of options and the rarest. In this article we will consider options for action when the lock is jammed, and also, the most important thing is how to make preventive measures.

• Key execution of operations not peculiar to him (open bottles, open packages, try to unscrew something);
• Slamming the door;
• Excessive force when opening and closing the lock (aggravation of the problem that appeared).

Jammed the door lock, what to do?

Unfortunately, anyone can jam, even the most expensive lock. This may be due both to mechanical damage (outside or inside), and with factory defects (much less often in the case of expensive locks). From here we can conclude:

Opening the lock, do not apply excessive force. If you fail to open the lock with a standard effort, it will not work even stronger. You can only aggravate the problem!

So how do you open the jammed lock? It depends on the type of lock.

Consider the case: jammed (with a larva).

Possible options for events:

• Can not get the key out;
• The key does not turn;
• The lock creaks during revolutions.

Can not get the key out

If the key is stuck in the lock and cannot be pulled out, there is a mechanical problem with the lock. The point is most likely that internal pins fell out in the lock (which hold the key). Most likely, only a specialist will be able to get the key (without any special damage). Independently, you can try to shake the key in the lock in different directions. You can also sprinkle with a lubricant like WD-40.

Attention! If you still managed to pull out the key yourself, do not continue to use such a lock. The situation may repeat. In the worst case, it will worsen and you will not be able to open the closed door. We'll have to break (it will be more expensive).

If you decide to change the jammed lock, you can try to pull out the key with pliers. Sometimes it fails to do and the key breaks in the lock. In this case, it remains to take a drill and drill out the larva.

The key wedges during revolutions

  If the lock normally works with the door open, but it is wedged when closed: most likely the problem is with the door frame. You can grind the door frame with a file.

If the lock sometimes wedges during revolutions even when the door is open, the problem is in the lock itself (again, something with pins). You can try to thoroughly lubricate the larva.

The same situation may occur due to debris that hit the keyhole. It is worth examining it and blowing it.

The lock creaks during revolutions

Definitely a lock needs lubrication. If you do not lubricate, in the near future you will find a jammed lock and the problem with how to open it.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, the jammed lock is a big problem. Especially if the door is closed and you are outside. In this case, you will most likely have to contact the specialists who come with a different plumbing tool and drill / cut / knock out the non-working lock.

Fortunately, problems can be avoided if you regularly maintain the lock (clean from dirt, lubricate), and also, when the first signs of problems appear, replace it with a new one.

What if the car's doors are locked and the key is either in the car itself or in the trunk, and the spare is far away? How to open the door of the car, if the lock is jammed? Quite a lot of people fall into a similar situation, and most often at the most inappropriate for this moment. Although can there be a moment in such a situation? It is because of this, even in the case of an existing spare kit, that it will never be superfluous to know how to open a car without a key in hand.

It is clear that this applies only to those who got into an unexpected situation, and not to hackers of car locks. They are already able to break the lock, from which you can be protected only by an alarm. Since the car is your property, then of course you are not afraid of an alarm - you have one main task, namely, to open the door without much loss of money and time. Do not throw a panic, the door of the car is very easy to open without a key.

So how to open the door if the lock is jammed? From the very beginning you should stop panicking and rush from one extreme to another - don't break the glass, leave it for the most extreme case. Initially, try or analyze several ways in which you can minimize risks, and select the appropriate one.

Method 1. Additional set of keys

If you have a second set of keys, you will simply open the door by calling or asking someone to bring it. This method is suitable for those who have a car close to the second set of keys. Do not leave the car with the keys inside unattended, as the hijackers know many ways to open the car, and in your car there will also be keys as a gift. Attackers can be anywhere, and especially in parking spaces and parking lots. If there is no one to bring you an additional set of keys, you should ask the parking guards to trace the car while you carry the second set of keys. This method is the most simple, free and fast, but not always applicable for certain reasons.

2nd way. We take out the seal

On the driver's door or another door, you can gently pry the rubber glass seal near the lock. A small screwdriver or other small object may be suitable for this. Next, you need to pull out the glass sealant - only 3-4 cm will suffice. The opening tool can be a hard wire, a knitting needle or other thin sharp objects. The end of the wire must be crooked at a 45 degree angle.

In the hole between the door and the glass is to vertically insert the wire hook down. After this item touches the lock, you must bypass the lock and find a mechanism to open it. After finding it, it is worthwhile to move the hook to the left and after that start it to the right. Then grope the locking mechanism and, when hooked onto the traction mechanism, open the lock.

What if this method fails? How to open the car door if the lock is jammed? There is also another version of this method.

The end of the wire can be bent in the form of a hook with a radius of about 1-2 cm. Wire should also be placed vertically between the compactor and the glass near the door handle. Sometimes it may be necessary to pull the seals near the edge of the glass. Then you need to grope and hook the door hook, where the door lock is located. And then pull the wire up to the click with the help of the wire.

It can also help if you press with your hands and lower the side window a little down at least 1 cm. It is worth trying this with all the panes. If this works, you are very lucky. Then you should bend the hook out of the wire and through the opening in the lowered glass get the door lock button. It is worth a little patience and try to hook the button. If it works, you can open the door.

3rd way. Remove the lock with the vents

Domestic production car or an old foreign car can be opened thanks to the following method. You can pull out the seal and open the door or remove the lock from the vents. This is especially easy to do if a lock is jammed on a domestic VAZ-2110 car. Doors open after this is not difficult, and then put the window back with simple devices or contact the auto repair.

If you are aware of the fact that you have a very broken lock, which is often the case with old cars, you can open it with a similar key. Basically, the locks are broken by the driver - and it is worth trying to open it. Just do not overdo it and make great efforts. You can run into a complete replacement of the castle.

4th way. Use a loop of rope or fishing line

How to open the door if the lock is jammed? You can open the door lock with a rope loop. This device is suitable for cars, the internal button for closing the doors of which slightly protrudes upwards. It is also worth saying that there are such cases when you have to slightly bend the corner of a car door using certain tools.

In the middle of a thin rope it is necessary to tie a loop in the size, like an internal lock button. Also say that in rare cases, you can shove the rope, and later make a loop. Instead of a rope, you can take a fishing line, as it is much thinner than a rope and can easily crawl through a narrow door slit. It is necessary to take the cord with the hands for the opposite ends and pull it. Through the upper corner of the door we start a string and make movements to the right and left. We stretch both ends of the cord up, and the lock button opens the lock. It should be very careful when performing this method.

5th way. Installing a new battery

This method of opening car doors without keys is used when the battery is discharged or there is no power supply in the car, due to which the car door cannot be opened due to the central lock. Also in cases where the locks do not work or froze.

So how to open a jammed door lock? It is necessary to get close to the cable of the lock of the hood, which most often goes from the lock of the hood to the left wing, and then to the interior of the car. Then we hook the cable around the left headlight or radiator and pull it with a sharp movement. About the car in advance, you must put the battery. Then we connect the battery and use the key to open the car.

6th way. Call a specialist

Many users wonder: how to open the door of a jammed lock (Skoda Octavia or another car is unimportant)? An excellent option would be to call a specialist. This method is not the cheapest and sometimes may not be suitable due to the lack of such service nearby. Here everything becomes clear, but not always everything passes without difficulties. Experts are different. It is worth using the services of only experienced professionals from proven companies.

7th way. Glass breaking or lock scrap

This method is the most radical. In case you still do not know how to open the jammed lock of the car door, or no method works, then there are only two options - to break the lock or break the glass. Both methods are not pleasant.

If you decide to break the lock, then drive a thin metal screwdriver into it and turn it. In this case, the lock will break immediately. If there is a drill and electricity, it can be done much more carefully. Just drill out the lock of the lock. But this method will require to replace each bot, or you will have different keys.

When breaking glass, it is worthwhile to find out which glass in the car is the cheapest. Before breaking the glass is to carefully prepare. Minimize the scatter of the glasses after you break them. For this, it is recommended to glue glass with adhesive tape. Do not stick the place where the blow is aimed. It is best to break the glass with a heavy hammer.

Several ways to hedge against such situations

In order not to wonder how to open the door, if the lock is jammed, you should listen to several tips:

• you can make a copy of the key, but without the chip, and always carry it with you. Even if you lose it, you can open the car, but you cannot start it;
• you can also disconnect the key fob from the alarm;
• it is necessary to disable the locking option of the central locking, in bad weather, the car can deliver some troubles;
• in case you leave the car with the engine running, do not close the driver's door or close it until the first click;
• you can also constantly check the operability of the door switches that signal an open door, and remember to write to the phone several numbers of companies that specialize in unlocking cars;
• when purchasing a new car with one set of keys, if it was not possible to duplicate it, simply write the key on paper and write down the thickness. Later, you yourself can make a temporary key, for example from aluminum.

It should be understood that not every method can be suitable for certain models of machines. For example, most modern cars are endowed with special metal or plastic covers that protect the lock mechanism from hooks and rulers. Also, certain models are endowed with smooth internal buttons that taper upward. When deciding to bend the upper part of the door, it is worth being very careful, as this can damage the paint or deform the door very much. So the question of how to open the door, if the lock is jammed, should be approached very carefully and deliberately.
