The door wont lock

Sounds like the lock mechanism is stuck on the locked position. Since you didn't specify make and model this is a best guess. Make sure the lock is in the unlock position and try manipulating the rod connected to the outside handle (since child lock is on the inside handle won't work)

It sounds like you might have two door latches that are faulty.... But you can try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes and reconnect to see if that solves it. Sometimes VW's need their memory reset, have seen weird problems happen and this fixes it a lot of the time.

handles may be in good condition but the lever on the latch itself may have came loose. your mostlikley looking at dismantelling the apolsery with the door closed to rectify it.

see on the side of the door if there's no child lock in

YOU PROBABLY HAVE THE LOCK ON LOCK POSITION. OPEN THE DOOR, PULL THE OUTSIDE HANDLE OF THE DOOR UP AND WITH SCREW DRIVER PULL THE LOCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DOOR TILL UNLOCK POSITION, THEN CLOSE THE DOOR.

it appears you have a broken latch
the bad news is when your latch breaks like this you will end up destroying the interior door skin in order to get the door open

the good news is that almost any good garage can make the repair quickly

your door lock cable is of the lock so it wont lock it,you will have to take of the door panel and the lock where you use to open by hand from inside the cable goes down to the lock ,connect it theres a little hole for it has to go in there make sure your clips are good on that cable put in and will lock and unlock witout problems.please leave comment,vote,note.thankyou

I have shaved door handles on a 2000 chevy silverado and the drivers side door just recently stopped opening it seems like its completely locked out and the door is closed so i cannot get to the bolts of the latch assembly when i hit the unlock button it unlocks half way and when you go to open the door it relocks itself even if you manually try to unlock the door and hold the lock forward it still wont open

If you have tried the inside, and outside door handle, and it does not open you need a new door latch assembly.

sounds like the door lach is sticking
use some wd40 spray the lock and let it sit 4 a while
now since you have the inside skin off reach inside the door with 1 hand and try and open the door from the outside and see if the lock bar moves it usualy pushes down i think on a lach
if it goes up and down with no resistance make sure it is contacting the lach if yes make sure the door is unlocked
somtimes the lock is just stuck
after unlock open the door
push down on lock bar attached to lock then pull up on it if that fails to open door
after that all fails unlock door have friend pull handle and then give the door a good kick from inside just remember not the kick the glass
