Locking door handles, Now what to do?

[bigbird1]

Well I told some friends to go take a look at the new truck (m923a2) and someone must have put the door locks on from the inside. Anyone had to break into their own truck? Do the inside handles pull up or down, Thinking a coat hanger to start.

Just use a coat hanger and lift up one of the inside door handles and it will open.

In times like these i like to find a neighborhood kid, between the ages of 4 and 6, tell him i need him to break into an army truck. Just slide the back glass and they worm right on in there.

Its usually the same rugrat that locked it in the first place.

Door hinge pin/bolts?

Pull the top of a door window outward.

Are both front windsheids locked?

Rear window slides.

Floor hatches locked?

My question, and forgive me if its been brought up a dozen times (I am searching this subject of accidentally locked doors)
but do the "keyed" door handles "unlock" a door that has been locked from the inside, or do they only lock/unlock the handle?

I've noticed the wife keeps locking her door while exiting the vehicle.... (I did find that I can open the rear slider and should be able to access a handle, with something).

The coat hanger from the front part of the door glass works great , just pull up with the hook part

No, a keyed door handle has no more functions than the original(other than it locks).

An update from the OP would be nice.

Left friend's little dog in the cab, same deal. With the soft top I was able to climb up and get the zipper on the back window to open. Sent a kid in to unlock.

I'll just combat lock it, and leave the drivers windshield unlatched....
