Re: [DML] Re: door trouble...

I haven't been watching this thread, but am I to understand that your door 
are locked
and your key will not unlock them?
Why should the battery matter?

I think you might have a problem that I have encountered before, where the 
door locks
get jammed, this is not always a solenoid problem.
I find that this is usually caused by one of the door catches being off just 
a little
and the lock mechanism getting jammed.
The way that I have solved this is to press really hard on each side of the 
door
while trying to unlock the door.
Sometimes it takes a little working but I usually get it.
