== We have had some problems with Super glue in door locks and have found the best way is to let it dry for a few days or a cuple of weeks even better after it's weathered a bit.
One thing that has worked about 10% of the time has been to forse an old key into the lock breaking up the glue in doing so. the lock then has to be removed and cleaned using a small pick and the old key. One other thing we've has good success with has been by take'n the lock appart and leaving it soak in a mix of Napth fuel and paint thinner it softens up the glue for a wee bit of time to work with. Though the Napth does not give you much time to work with it due to it quick evaporation. Though at the time of type'n this we still have about 30 locks that are still in need of cleaning and if some one out there has a better way of getting glue out of a lock I'd like to hear it. Ace hardware sells a product by DURO, called super glue remover. Try it. My neighbor was supergluing a coffee cup together and the phone rang, I get a phone call for help and she had super glued herself to the phone, both hands, funny as heck. I wish I had remembered to take pictures. This product helped.

Also, the doors will still lock when car is turned on and when the doors are locked using keyless entry remote.
How can you repair a car door that does not close or lock if it is aligned properly?
make sure that the latching mechanism is open and not closed.. that's the part that is shaped like a c where the door meets the striker(the nob that sticks out from the car) if its closed it would be like running into a closed door.. when open it should close around it correctly..if not you may need to replace the nob. Not expensive either.

Why doesn't the driver's door lock when lock button is pushed on Audi a6 All others lock...?
On many cars, the driver door does not lock with the others if the car is in park (when the key is in the ignition). But, it works fine when you put the car in gear. This prevents you from locking your keys in the car.
