I’m not sure if this is in the right place, but my driver side door lock is starting to act up. The owner before me had someone break into it so it wont lock without the door being shut, and you HAVE to use the key to lock it. That has never been problem for me, but now my key is having a harder time going all the way into the lock. It feels like a have to put it in harder than normal to get it to lock. I’m not sure if this is a serious problem, but the last thing i want is my only key to break off into the door. I’ll go out and have the key copied today, but if anyone knows whats going on it’d help me alot. Thanks
have you tried holding the door latch in the open position and locking it from the inside?
I will try that, but it has the problem when i’m un-locking it aswell.
ahh… Well, I haven’t messed with door locks much. you might try to get a price on a lock kit from acura, or pull one from the junk yard and have it re-keyed to match your existing key at a locksmith shop. while you’re pulling it out make sure none of the lock linkage is broken/bent.
exaclty like teglover said, pull the door handle like you are opening it, then lock it. All of the honda’s I’ve owned are like this on the drivers side.
Damn, so mines been cursed? Maybe i’ll just have to get rear handles from a 4dr. and replace mine then get a remote lock…:ohyeah:
