How to remove door locks

if its still locked and not working , then your in for a real chore !! as these are designed to not be able to just unscrew if there locked up , if its not locked , open door and unscrew frame part from frame (screws held it on frame) then look at bottom of key lock section , see small set screw (use allen key on this ) remove this screw , then using a small pipe wrench (you didn't want to keep it right ?) unscrew the lock section lefty loosey and then with a slight pry with small screwdriver entire front cover will pop off , this exposes the screws into the door , remove them an lock will come off door (leaves big holes in door thought)

if its just 1 door that wont lock, I would say that the lock mechanism on that door has failed. When you press the central locking , you should hear each door "click" if its only 1 door, remove the door panel to check if any wiring has broken or dislodged. To check the door lock unit, I found it easier to remove it and check with a unit from one the doors that you know does work. If the good one you swapped over works, then that will mean that the lock unit has failed, if the good one doesn't work on that door, then you know it will be a wiring or connection fault to that door.

You will have to remove the door panel and test the latch. Since the switch has power and is working, the problem is either the wiring to the latch or the latch itself. Since it is not working manually, the latch is most likely the problem.

This may be due to a bad lock actuator, i will need to ask a few questions first.Can you lock the door by hand using the button? or is the lever stuck?Is the problem that it does not work with the power locks only?
Let me try to answer these, first if the door lock does not work with the power locks then the door lock actuator may be bad, the door panel will need to be removed and test for power at actuator. While inside the door check lock linkage.If the door lock lever wont move then that may also be related to a frozen lock actuator, that is the same as above. a bad or frozen lock actuator will not allow door to lock or unlock but sometimes a bad actuator will not work with the power button but will allow you to lock and unlock with lock lever or door key, the door panel needs to be removed to check . good day.

Try putting a little graphite lock lube in the lock to see if it is just stuck first. Does your key work on the other locks? Do you have a spare key that you haven't tried? If you need to pull the lock, use a trim removal tool to pull the door panel off, starting at the bottom removing the clips on the outer edge of the panel. Unscrew the fasteners holding the armrest on and be careful of the door handle to avoid bending the linkages. Door locks don't fail too often.
