⫷ Door Will Not Open. Broken Handle. How to open Door. ⫸ 

Thank you. This helped us get our door open so we can at least take child lock off and open from inside. Gotta replace the outside handle once it's warm

Thanks for the instruction. Just to help you out, I suggest editing the video to get to the point. Will be more enjoyable that way.

Thanks so much for making this vid! Had the same issue in my 2004 Toyota Avalon but pulling the rod didnt work. I ended up unscrewing the inside door cover and pulling back at the top, and with the window down and my head inside the window cavity I could see the outside door handle locking mechanism with a torch. Used a long skinny rod to press harder down on the mechanism and it opened! Child lock is now OFF! 😄

Thank you for posting. This worked on my Ford Fiesta 05 hatchback. I had to pull the outside handle whilst pulling the inside handle at the same time in order for the door to open though. But got it open. Thanks for your help (and I believe thanks to Our Lady too!) Susan in Ireland

Thanks so much a true asset to the community,worked like a charm.

Thank you I’m going to give this a try tomorrow on my 2008 Acura RL. 🙏🏼

Thank goodness i found this video, i just put my child lock on then went to open 🔒 🔒. 1989 MAZDA LUCE

Thank you for the video bro 💯💯 definitely helped me a shit load of stress. A bunch of looking around, calling people and everything and everyone was stumped until i came across the video! Definitely a life saver bro 💯

right before new years my door handle broke and i accidentally thought my child lock was so and as you might have guessed i set it into the lock position so i was panicking how the heck do i fix this i luckily found your video and i was even lucky! your model is almost the same as mine i have a 99 i tried your method and i fixed it easily! the outside door handle was a little tricky to replace but i got it done thanks for the video!

Dude thanks for the hard work on your video had same problem with the Ford focus 2008 seems like it’s a common problem in the small cars come to find out all I had to do after watching you and this other guy do videos tearing up their car was to hold the handle up on the outside and fist bump the F out of it without Denting it and Wala the unlock popped up and I opened it then I WD-Ed The F out of the locking spot on the door. Yes it rusted up and the Fine mechanisms Froze up and bump and it made it come loose

Bro thanks so much for making this video it helped me open up my new car the dealership was bullshiting me telling me my handles and stuff broken and I need a appointment and to pay they like scamming people

Worked on my 01 Honda Accord. Thanks!

Thanks for this! Worked on a similar problem that I had in the driver's door of a 1999 Toyota Corolla.

Thank you. I needed this video for my 2006 Hyundai Sonata. Same location...driver's side rear door panel.

Thank you!

Omg I'm so trying this,! You are the bedt

Thank you it worked on my 2011 suburban

Than you! I just bought a 92 camry that has this problem!

Helped a lot thanks

I did it on my ford fiesta mk5 back door. Took some time, but it did work. Now I need to figure out what the hell to replace...

Worked for my car Toyota Corolla 2011. Thanks!

Thanks! I just used this to open the door of a 2002 nissan altima.

Will it be the same for the front door

1997 honda civic and i got it right open,. thank you

It helped me to open a door on my my 1997 Kia Sportage

Thank You

Thanks!

Thanks for making the video, my 2007 chysler sebring back door won't open outside or inside, my drivers door won't open from the inside, i roll my window down to open it manually from the outside.....i figured im going to have to do some jury rigging

Thank you

Thnx

THANK YOU!! I tried this and it works now after a couple years of the door not opening

Thanks friend

Worked like a champ on my 02 TL. I was looking at whether my exterior handle needed replacement. Put everything back together and would not open. Child safety latch jammed in the safety position. Did you trick and was able to open and correct the problem. Thanks a million.

2000 Kia Sportage. On another door, the plastic washer that holds the rod for inside door handle broke and I replaced with a metal star washer. My problem is the rear driver's side door will not open from the outside and yes, it's a stupid little plastic part that is not sold and plan to replace with a metal rod and cotter pin. It's not the outside handle. It the linkage. And yes, the little access slot is tiny and plan to wrap saran wrap around arms like the protesters do in Hong Kong so I don't look suicidal. I had cut my self up around the wrists just poking around seeing what the problem was.

I have a 2003 Toyota RunX. I couldn't take the door handle from inside out because the door panel has to be removed first. What I did was I removed the door trim and used a thin piece of metal which happened to be a house door way trim and I pushed the metal thing that the exterior door handle attaches to, downwards and the door opened. If it wasn't for your video I doubt I would've got that idea.

i have a jetta 2006 and my driver door is stuck shut it wont open from either side, ive tried pulling on the latch and it wont open

Thanks, I hope this helps on my friend's jeep, it was broken into and the door won't open at all now.

Worked on my 2004 Acura 3.2TL

Thank you for the video....good starting point for me..... 2013 Suburban front passenger door. I guess you always laugh at someone else's misery. Howled when I heard about your gyrations to get to the interior door handle....and when you pulled the backseat, it was hard not to notice...you have children!!! Thanks for your insights.

Is that the same for front door

I have a Toyota Corolla 1998 with the same problems. Child lock. Broken door handle on the outside. Did everything on the video and nothing :(

Thanks

Helped me with a 2000 Toyota Tacoma

My car has the same door design but for some reason when I lock it and then I I the driver side handle it stays up,so I have to go to the other doors and unlock it from inside,how can this be fixed?

Thank you for this. However, did you see if your door really had the child safety lock set on it? I am having that issue with my passenger behind driver side door.

MY GOAT 🫶🏾🫶🏾

This helped on a 2010 chevy silverado

I toe o tried everything to open locked passenger door on 2002 Buick Park Avenue. The locking mechanism was wonky and wouldn't click over one way or the other. I thought something was broken and I was hosed because pulling on the rod for the door opener will not work in it is locked. Put some vise grips on the locking rod and gave it all I had while trying the door lever and it moved then opened!!!!!

Do you have any other ideas if this doesn’t work?

Thank you this worked for my 2001 Honda ! I gotta now buy new doorhandles but hey at least the doors work lol

Driver side on my 08 Chevy won’t open... trying to figure it out... thanks!

I FOUND A WAY TO GET THE CHILD LOCK OFF W/O OPENING THE DOOR (that is simple). I wedged A PLASTIC FLY SWATTER between the door and the door frame from the inside of the car. I looked on my other rear door to get an idea of where to aim. I even practice on it a couple times (keeping the child lock OFF) to see where I landed each time. I have a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. BACKGROUND: On one door, the exterior door handle doesn't work and I accidentally put the child lock on and so I was unable to open the door at all. (My child lock is manual - a lever on the door frame that is not [easily] accessible when the door is closed). Hope this helps someone.

Yep child lock is engaged and I'm gonna have to do that on a Vibe which is basically a Toyota matrix

Yea but what if all door handle broken what would u do

Worked for me 2008 nissan rouge

Thank you so much 💯💯💯 You really saved me from a ton of Work! 🙏🏼

Great

I hope this is works for me because I'm exhausted trying 😂

Cheers

There's a MUCH EASIER way. I have a 2000 Acura TL and had the same problem with the same door. Outside latch was broken, child lock was on. SOLUTION: Open the driver/front door. Then you'll see the bolts holding the back door onto the car. Just loosen the bolts, and the back door will open.

Thank you so much for the idea, will report when I'm open. Blessed 🙏

this worked on my 2000 honda accord

will this work with a dent? someone hit me on my right passenger side, like just couple inches below of the Handle. cant open from both sides. :L i dont want to get a new one smh

Hope this works on my Hyundai sonata 2009 because I spent all day on it didn’t even get it open🤣

Let’s get to it
