Below I will provide a detailed explanation on how to apply the fixes, and I will also share the reasons why this is happening.
Just about any modern cargo van will have a deadlock feature. This feature is added to vehicles as an anti-theft system as unlocking the vehicle is only possible via the rotation of a lock cylinder. And it’s typically triggered when someone tries to enter the car without carrying the keys i.e. a thieve. Although essential and valuable, this securit...
Some parts of your van’s doors are exposed to the elements, making them susceptible to dirt build-up. Another is the rust that can form with time, which can negatively impact certain parts related to how the door opens. As a result, certain door components like the hinge and lock can jam, meaning you’ll have a hard time using the door/s.
If you live in a particularly cold state, the cold temperatures can make certain parts of your doors freeze. The freezing cold can form ice around or inside components like lock or handle, which will make it difficult or outright impossible for you to open the back door, or any door for that matter. And let me tell you, the last thing you want to d...
This is the last easy fix that you can try before you start replacing various parts of the locking mechanism. Don’t hesitate to call a qualified locksmith to come and hopefully open your door if none of the methods I mentioned above work. A professional locksmith who specializes in unlocking cars and vans should be able to unlock your cargo van’s b...
The deadlock is an anti-theft feature that’s fitted to modern vehicles. It prevents the doors from being opened from the inside and outside when the car is parked. So even if you smash a window, you still won’t be able to open the door without the key. On most vehicles the deadlock is activated by pressing the Lock button on the remote key fob twic...
Your cargo van is exposed to the elements all year round. As a result, dirt and rust might build upon the various door components. Rust can be especially destructive as it typically accumulates in the lock assembly, potentially jamming the door latch. Other components prone to rust are the latch springs and the door hinge, which will inevitably neg...
Another potential cause related to the elements is a frozen door. If you live in one of the coldest states like Maine and North Dakota, you’re more susceptible to not being able to open your van’s door due to very low temperatures. The freezing cold can affect the various parts and locking mechanisms in the doors, rendering them useless. Note that ...
Each door on your cargo van is a complex structure consisting of various mechanical components that all work together so that the doors open and lock effortlessly. But this also means that any (or even worse all) of those parts can fail and result in a jammed door. Damaged or broken door latch, lock, handle, interior locking switch etc. are just so...
Your van’s back door might suffer from core structure damage that might be caused by a recent accident. Even the slightest bump from another vehicle may cause internal damage to the door, even if the outside looks fine. For instance, the latch can be damaged or even disconnected from the lock assembly, making it hard or near impossible to open the ...
