Door lock "sticking"

[raysturm]

My Rear Driver Side Door does the same thing..... I 'unlocked' it with the key fob and then tried to open the door...That's when I started to play with the lock, unlock, button and realized it was not working.

 

I don't know how long this has been happening but it sucks to think there was a way into my truck without me knowing.

 

Is there a way collectively we can get GM to notice/acknowledge this?

This discussion triggers my recall of an incident that happened to me last week. My neighbor just took delivery of a few items from his father's estate. One item was a totally stock 1966 Chevrolet Caprice wagon. I had a similar vehicle during my University days so I was able to show him a few "features". I laughed when he asked me where the button was to lock the doors!

I have a similar problem to this wanted to see anyone has info.... it’s a 2016 Sierra all the door locks we’re working fine then i noticed they weren’t locked one day and opened the door the alarm went off. Used remote to lock and the lights flash and horn sounds but none of the doors lock, I locked all doors manually and tried to unlock and same thing only lights. If I use the interior switch I can hear the click by fuse box but nothing happens same with passenger side

I am not a car specialist, as I am a female and do not manifest interest in solving any car problems, haha. For that, I have a husband. My man tried all the ideas, but he failed to open the door. The inside lock of the door had malfunctioned, and the button did not react to the push. I thought my baby pushed the controller so much that it stooped to respond. For help, I contacted https://www.locksmithsingapore.sg/, which is the best specialist in Singapore, concerning everything about do repair and replacement services.

I know that the actuators have been known to go bad but you should be able to manually open the door. I had the actuator go bad on my front passenger door. If I pressed several times quickly on the unlock button on driver's door, the button would finally pop up. But I could also pull the door opening lever twice to manually open the door.

When a door lock is "sticking," it usually indicates an issue with the lock mechanism or alignment. This problem can arise due to various reasons. First, misalignment is a common cause, where the door and its frame have shifted over time, preventing the lock from engaging or disengaging smoothly. Second, the accumulation of dirt, grime, or rust inside the lock mechanism can hinder its operation. Exposure to dust and moisture can lead to this buildup. Third, a lack of lubrication can also cause sticking; over time, the lubricant inside the lock can dry out or get dirty, requiring reapplication. Lastly, wear and tear of the lock components due to regular use can lead to mechanical issues, making the lock hard to operate. Addressing these issues usually involves realigning the door, cleaning or lubricating the lock mechanism, or replacing worn-out parts.
