Astra Rear Door Can't Open From Outside Or Inside - QuickTip To Gain Access

In this video I give a quick Tip on how to gain assess to a Opel Vauxhall Holden Astra H rear door that won't open from the inside or outside (deadlocked). While this is not a fix it certainly is very useful so you can gain access to either use when needed or to carry out a repair and you are required to remove the door panel. Testing is required to confirm the fault, possible faults are the actuator or communication/power failure to the door actuator that requires repair.

Fantastic. It’s been 2 weeks with my door not opening. Tried this and bang it worked first time 👍

[@garyhicks6907]

Much appreciated thankyou very much.
I cant even begin to tell you how annoying it's been. Now i can open it again I'm hoping it won't be to much money to get the locking mechanism fixed.

Great stuff 💪💪🙏🙏🙌🙌

[@seanm1430]

One other thing- when I did this, the other doors would not open.
So I had to put the key in the door lock (drivers side) and unlock the door to open the rest of the doors.
What a nightmare. All sorted now.

[@chrismorris5300]

Anyway to fix when child locks are on ?

[@AlexandarNk]

Same problem with mine.

[@MohammedHatata]

Same with men I tried the following and it worked. It's a copy and paste from another video.

1) Get in the car, lock it, and open the window to the stuck door.
2) pull the inside lever of the door that's stuck and keep it pulled with tension.
3) with the lever kept pulled, unlock/lock the car using your fob a few times but end with it being unlocked.
4) with the lever still being pulled, reach through the window and open it from the outside.
5) the door now opens from the outside.
6) take child lock off
7 door now opens from inside and outside.
This is the exact process that worked for me with a zafira after trying everything else

[@keithevans2307]

And mine did you get it sorted if so hm did it cost and what was the problem please

[@olawunmiakintayo5121]

Amazing, really helpful. Grateful

[@xUzi786]

My Astra k driver door all of sudden not opening on either side (deadlocked) my mechanic has ordered the lock mechanism £94

[@garythain9903]

Didn’t work, as I had turned the red switch with the key, and for some reason it won’t open when unlock the car, or unlock the way you said to try.

[@tonyfurminger8308]

Same problem is happening with our 2012 Astra. Problem is, the childlock is on

[@mb10es62]

No mate, just no. Surely this is one of the first things someone would try. Didnt work otherwise I wouldn’t be here
