The door lock on my Smart Crossblade is completely locked
You manage to insert your key fully into the lock of the Smart Crossblade, however impossible to rotate . In this situation, a very simple check must be made.

The key no longer fits fully in the door of the Smart Crossblade
The dysfunction can be the result of several things. The first is that your key is bent. If so, you would be hard pressed to open all of the doors on your Smart Crossblade. You can also try to straighten it gently. Also, it is possible that the lock is simply stupidly dirty. In this case, you need to grease the lock or apply anti-seize like WD40.
