My sliding door won't open
First time on the Bongo Forum! Can anyone help? This morning when I closed the sliding door (the auto closing type) it made some odd noises and now will not open at all. Obviously I've tried locking and unlocking but no joy. Any ideas?

Re: My sliding door won't open
ok there is a fact sheet on this but here goes
I take it its both outside and inside not working which means the mechanism has got jammed mid way though its cycle
some have disconnected the battery and reconnected it after a short time which has released it or
try a technical thump on the door exact location unknown so try around the door this can dislodge the jam the next step is to remove the door pannel from the inside
this is a messy job as there is a black goo holding the plastic sheet to the door under the pannel but once prised out of the way you can find the switch and knock it with a stick or grab the cable/wire /bar/thing and pull it to release the door
Try the thump and battery first

Have you tried from inside. Childlock?
