Nothing is as annoying as key that no longer works . And everyone knows, the locksmith is something super expensive. Especially on a car, simply because if you have to change a lock, you have to do it on all the other doors of the Kia Sorento 2. So before having a locksmith quote, let's check if there are no methods less expensive by doing repairs alone. For this, we will go around the most regular concerns and what will be the possible solutions to this problem.
The door lock on my Kia Sorento 2 is completely locked
You can insert your key fully into the Kia Sorento 2 lock, however 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, obviously. If on the other hand this is the case only on one of the doors, it is naturally the lock that blocks. So the first thing to do is insert WD40. This anti-seize is the most used in the automotive sector. Generally it solves more concerns than you might think. It is also possible that an element has been inserted in the lock and prevents its operation. In this case, a locksmith will be able to fix it for you. Last solution, change the lock…
The key no longer fits fully in the door of the Kia Sorento 2
The problem can arise from several factors. First is that your key is bent. If this is the case, you would have difficulty opening all the doors of your Kia Sorento 2. You can also try to straighten it gently. Otherwise, it is possible that the lock is simply dirty. It will then be necessary to grease the lock or apply anti-seize like WD40. By dint of playing the key without forcing too much, the door should open. It is practically impossible for a solid element to fit into the lock, unless an individual has tried to force it.
The key turns in the lock, however the Kia Sorento 2 does not open
One of the first things to do is to break in through another door and try to boot it from the inside. If there too, there is nothing to do, then the lock of your Kia Sorento 2 is indeed in bad condition. You can try applying an anti-seize agent inside the mechanism, but unfortunately there is little chance that it will work. Unfortunately, you only have one solution, go to your locksmith.
