busted door handle
Its possible to open any door from the out side but it was only ment to be open from the inside.
It sounds to me like the rods traveling from the inside handle to the outside handle (which , by the way , are designed to operate in their own "channel" one behind the other) are crossed where their paths meet.Try moving the rod "behind" the other to the front of the pair.
The problem is that the inside door handle is broken. Although the inside door handle needs replacement you can still open the door by pulling on the lock lever above the handle.
the door on my 94 aerostar only opens from the outside and only if you hold the lock button up on the inside while you pull the handle. it is a pain it the but. i am going to take it apart this weekend and maybe i can help you next week. it is probably just a hook or latch that came off inside the door.
because they are security doors and can only be opened from the inside deuh
Most likely the outside handle is broken. The ear that the rod connects to breaks off. Only solution is to replace. Remove the inside panel and there will be one or two bolts holding the handle in. ON the back door there should only be one rod connected to it.
The black door handle inside is probably broken. Mine was and I replaced it with parts from ebay. Only about $12.00
Some models of deadbolt locks have a keyhole on the inside as well as the outside. This is normal. Some people prefer the extra lock, others do not. If you do not like having an inside lock on your entry way door, you can exchange it for one that has only an outside lock.
you need to remove interior door panel. and check the rod. make sure its atached to your outside door handle and your locking mechenism.
You can put a locking hasp lock on the door and the door frame that you engage when you are inside. Or block the door with heavy furniture, but if it is your only exit, it would not be safe. The easiest thing would be to buy and install a metal storm/security door on the outside, making sure that the hinges are not accessible at the outside of the house.
I have been having problems with my 2000 Ford Focus. For a long time now, my passenger side door would not open from the outside, but would open from the inside. However, once open, it can only be closed by locking the door and pulling it shut. This wasn't a huge problem because I could simply open the driver side door and open it from the inside. However, the driver side door is having the same problem so I need to find out what is wrong. Can anyone help?
You don't close the door when you go inside to check if the lights are on
