YES! I tried following other guides/videos and was still struggling, but you noting to lift the handle made all the difference. Thank you so much!

Was washing me uncle’s car when i just decided to fiddle with the inside lock with the key, who knew it'd make me spend 30 minutes out in the finger nibbling cold trying to use the same key to unfiddle what i just fiddled. Just happened to open google to pull an exterior wachama-call-it and then refiddle that key.

Thank you so much. It was so easy. In my mind, I was already thinking I was going to have to call a tow truck, have it towed, and get a rental car. The directions are clear and concise. It took all of 4 seconds after I read the instructions.

Not really helpful if you have to manually do this literally every time you want to get in and out of the car, which is the situation I’m stuck in right now…

hi....use a metal nail file if you have one or something similar ( or the tip of a key.... the manual lock type) if possible....i know not ideal but it's better than nothing if you're stuck somewhere

and ladies if you are somewhere where you haven't got access to a flathead screwdriver....a metal nail file will also help

Selbes problem aber andersherum…Tür lässt sich nicht öffnen wegen verschobenen Schloss…lösung?

Helped a lot. My brother did something to the latch and it got stuck. If I didn’t find this, he would’ve been crying 🤣 Thank you so much for the help!

But what if it does it every time?? What’s the part called? Can someone change it themselves or does it have to go to a shop. I can change a clutch, brakes, spark plugs all the filters and I can read and follow directions. Plus Kia has this awesome online manual year make model specific unlike rhe old books so I’m thinking I got this and if not dukes of hazard style here we come. Probably break a leg trying to jump out the window of my sorento though.
