Is there anyone who can help me please

[TraceyCL]

I’ve got an Elddis Autoquest 52 plate and I’ve got to my motorhome today and I can’t lock my habitation door from either the inside or outside. All I’ve done is spray it with a bit of WD40 because the mechanism is a bit stiff. I’m currently in Wythall but have an exterior safe door lock so could travel. I’m going away in it on Wednesday so need to sort it out asap

There are mobile locksmiths but they will be expensive, especially on a Sunday. You could put some oil (cooking oil will be fine) on the key and insert and remove it from the lock a few times to lubricate it, WD40 isn't a lubricant.

I don’t know much, but this will keep your post up the list for someone who does! Have you tried using the key in the drivers door? Could it be your key fob battery?

It’s a different key. Not battery operated it’s a 21yr old van

Does the key turn fully but just doesn't do anything.
If so part of the mechanism has become detached inside the door.

Tracey, if you don't get it fixed before you go away.. wangle a 'locking system' inside for whilst you in bed with bungee cords.. I had to do that once. Keep safe, hon.

(my problem turned out to be as pappa John said).
