Hello,

I managed to lock out my self. I made antirost treatment for my fabia on week end and I had to remove front door during this job. I have assembled remote central locking system by my self, and when I had to remove the door, I had to also snap the wire from my remote control unit. When I was ready (I mean antirost job done) my central locking device did not work yet... So I locked 3 of 4 doors by my self by pressing the lock button and leaving one door open when I was in work place. When I came back to my car, I tried to press open lock button from the cars back seat, but I pressed accidentally lock button again and I stepped out of my car, and slammed cars rear door close. Then I tried to open drivers door... For my surprise it was locked and of course every door was locked. Because I have not used my mechanical locks for many years, they have been jammed totally. I mean totally, I tried to use oil, heat and pliers to get more force to key action, but no way. Now I am out side of my car and I am wondering how to get inside without stone or brick?

Does anybody have good advise? I have also nice pics from my antirost operation, and I´ll put some pics later when I get back to home later tonight. My wife is now coming to get me home =) she had also very bad day today, she crashed her Seat Ibiza on parking zone on airport... =( now left side front wing and door are smashed. Weather is been awful here in Finland.

Here is one idea, but I am not sure is that real / fake and even that could be possible, I don't have so kind of pump tool. I have tried to press that "open lock" button with plastic rod, but not managed yet. Is it possible release boot mechanic by rod or something? After couple of hours I had to give up, cause it´s quite freezing up here in Finland =)

Thanks beforehand - Regards Jamo from Finland

If the boot lock works, try push and hold the middle button on your remote for 3-4 seconds?

hmmm, thank you, but I tried it. Not working, I also tried to get windows down, but no way. Here are some pics from antirost job.

I hope I managed to attach pictures here. There are first 3 layers base coating, then normal base color, then lac (stops capillary effect), then wurth body spray 3 layer, rally red color 2 layer and final lac. I hope it will stay in our winter condition with salt...

I know your in now, but did you try putting key in lock and holding it at unlock position? It will wind the windows down.

He's said the locks are jammed and he can't turn a key. Reminds me to go outside witht he 3-in-1 and mine before I end up with similar problems....
