Nothing is more annoying than key that no longer works . And everyone knows, the locksmith is something very expensive. Especially for an automobile, because if it is necessary to change a lock, it must be done for all the other doors of your Hyundai Portico. So before getting a quote from a locksmith, let's see if there are not less expensive solutions by carrying out repairs yourself. For this, we will go around the most common dysfunctions and what will be the possible solutions to this concern.
The door lock on my Hyundai Portico is completely locked
You manage to insert your key entirely into the lock of the Hyundai Portico, but impossible to rotate . In this situation, a very simple check must be made. If this is what is happening on all your locks, it is that the concern must come from the key, naturally. If however this is the case only on one door, it is obviously the lock that blocks. So the first thing to do is put on WD40. This anti-seize is widely used in mechanics. Usually it solves more dysfunctions than you might think. It is also likely that a component has entered the lock and prevents its operation. In this situation, a locksmith will repair it for you. Last solution, replace your lock…
The key no longer fits entirely in the door of the Hyundai Portico
The concern can arise from several reasons. The first is that your key is bent. If that's right, you'd be hard pressed to open all the doors of your Hyundai Portico. You can also try to straighten it gently. Otherwise, it is possible that the lock is simply cluttered. It will then be necessary to lubricate the lock or introduce anti-seize like WD40. By turning the key without forcing too much, the lock should end up working. It is almost unthinkable that a resistant component should enter the lock, unless a person has tried to force it.
The key turns in the lock, but the Hyundai Portico does not open
The first thing to do is enter another door and try to open it from the inside. If there is nothing to do there, then the lock of your Hyundai Portico is undeniably in poor condition. You can still apply anti-seize inside the mechanism, but honestly there is little likelihood that it will work. Unfortunately, you only have one solution, call your locksmith.
