My vauxhall vectra back door will not open appears to be locked all the time how can i open it?
Answers:
if the childlock was on then you would be able to open the door from the outside, if this isnt happening then it would appear that the mechanism hasnt released (common problem on vauxhalls) you will need to remove the inner trim panel and activate teh lcok mechanism. the panel can be removed quiet easily it is held in place with some screws (door handle inner and door release catch inner) and then is clipped in to place, simply release teh fastners and then gently lever the trim away. once you get inside you will see some rods one from the inside handle and one from the button that allows you to lock and unlock the door. Follow the rod from the inner door release handle and that will run to the back of the door where the lock is try pulling the rod towards the front of the door see if this works if not then you will need to see where it is fixed to the lock and manually release the lock, this should open the lock if not then the lock is knackered and needs replacing
ask it nicely.
Get a can of WD-40, spray it all over the key, then hold the flap on the lock open with the key and spray loads into the lock. Count to 50 slowly as it soaks in.
Now insert the key and tease the key left and right.
Read the can, WD-40 is good for releasing siezed up machinery. You can get this from Wilko's or any hardware store.
take the door pannel off and open it that way good luck!

you haven't accidentally turned the child lock on, have you?
