hold the lever. Push outside !
The child lock could be on.
you have to remove the inside panels to get at the latch to open
Push to close, pull to open
If your dog can open the sliding door, you can use a broom handle to keep the door shut by wedging it so that the door will not slide. This will allow a child to open the door and block the dog from opening the door. You could also keep the door locked and teach the child how to unlock the door.
What kind of sliding door?,,,,, Vehicle? House? Bank Vault?
If from the inside perhaps the child proof latch is engaged. Hope This Helps.
Remove the inside door panel to expose both of the latches. Using a flashlight you can now diagnose what the problem is.
sliding door want open 89000 miles is their a way to open the sliding door when it will not open on the passenger door frame or housing is 2 rubber plugs i remove them i can see what look like 2 bolts with holes in them is their away to open the sliding door with them or any other way
Try pulling it harder, if that doesn't work you are going to need a hammer. Lightly hit the jammed area, make sure it is only on the frame though. Odds are it has slid out of place and the hammer will hit it back in making it slide able again :)
hold open your door handle and push the lock back in to place where the jaws clamp on to the door post
the trick is in the name really, you slide it. ???
A disconnected door handle linkage can cause your sliding doors not to open. The locking mechanism may not be fully disengaging, of which will cause your door not to open.
