Door lock mechanism stuck closed
« on: June 03, 2012, 01:38:52 pm »
So I was fooling around with my 1978 Chevy C10 Custom Deluxe, and messed with the door lock mechanism.  I accidentally flipped the lock up and now the door won't close, it just slams into the mechanism.  Is there an easy fix? All I did was move the mechanism with my hands, and now it won't go back into place.  Thanks

Hold the button and use a screwdriver to push it back into the unlatched position. ;D

Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand, and I shall move the earth or break this bolt...Whatever, just hold my beer!
