Doors won't unlock!

[havavb]

Came out this morning to find my drivers lock horizontal instead of vertical. Key won't turn. So I booted the centre back seat and climb in through the boot. Locks don't even unlock when I try push them up from the inside. So I enter and exit dukes of hazard style. I tried disconnecting the positive terminal to see if they would unlock but no lock. My cousin moved it last night the door and ignition are different keys. Could that she have used the ignition key and the look shit itself? It's central locking also..

You should be able to put the key in and turn it back to a vertical position. I have no idea whether its supposed to do it, but my cars lock can be rotated to a horizontal position and you can take the key out

Yeah it won't budge at all. Can door locks seize up at all? Cause I changed the ignition because that happened

They can seize up in the deadlock mode espessially if the deadlock has not been used for a while....you could try and spray wd40 on the back of the lock...need try to get in between the door skin and glass using a long spray nozle...there is a ball bearing on the tail of lock...DO NOT SPRAY IN THE LOCK WHERE THE KEY GOES IN

When the lock is turned horizontal it deadlocks the doors so as if some1 smashes a window they can't unlock doors. Lock should b able to turn back to vertical with key to release the deadlock.

I'll try the key one more time when I'm home, thanks for the help guys
