Nothing is as annoying as key that no longer works . And everyone knows, the locksmith is something extremely expensive. All the more so on an automobile, because if it is necessary to replace a lock, you must do so on all the other doors of the Kia Carnival. So before you call a locksmith, let's see if there aren't any cheaper methods of doing repairs on your own. For that, we will go around the most common concerns and what can be the potential solutions to this problem.
The door lock on my Kia Carnival is completely locked
You manage to insert your key to the bottom of the Kia Carnival lock, but impossible to rotate . In this case, a very simple check must be made. If this is what is happening on all your locks, it is because the problem stems 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 the most used in mechanics. Usually it solves more worries than you might think. It is also possible that an element has been inserted in the lock and prevents its proper functioning. In this case, a locksmith will be able to fix it for you. Ultimate solution, change the lock…
The key no longer fits entirely in the door of the Kia Carnival
The problem can arise from several things. First is that your key is bent. If that's right, you'd be hard pressed to open all the doors of this Kia Carnival. You can then try to gently straighten it. Otherwise, it is possible that the lock is simply dirty. In this case, you will have to lubricate the lock or insert anti-seize like WD40. By dint of playing the key without forcing too much, the door should open. It is almost unthinkable that a resistant element should enter the lock, unless an individual has tried to force it.
The key turns in the lock, but the Kia Carnival does not open
One of the first things to do is to enter another door and try to open it from the inside. If there too nothing happens, then the lock of your Kia Carnival is undeniably in bad condition. You can always put an anti-seize in the mechanism, but honestly there is little likelihood that it will work. Unfortunately you have only one solution, go to your locksmith.
