Locked Doors

Some how my boys locked the doors, how do you unlock them? Both handles are up and the outside key won't turn the handle.

I once did the same thing. Luckily, I don't yet have seals on the doors, and I was able to run a coat hanger up from the bottom to pull the door handle down. Otherwise, you'll probably have to push in the rear window to get in unless you want to break something.

Try the gas filler if stock. Sometimes you can get the rubber off and get a coat hanger thru to open it.

The handles don't move with the key as you unlock the door.

Yes the doors are closed and the inside handles are locked. The key doesn't do anything, as it's a separate lock mech, I think.

That's what Doc had to do when his wife........I mean when he locked himself out on a road trip once. (Truckstock 2014 I think?)

IIRC the inner door handle should move back to the unlock position when you shut the door to keep you from being locked out of the truck. When the latches wear they won't always do that, so as they will allow you to be locked out.
