993 - Door locks issue

[gmcl]

I am looking for help in getting into my car (Right Hand Drive) as I am locked out.

The trigger is not broken, it is moving (loose). It is like the inner mechanism operating the trigger is not connected. I cannot unlock the car using either the passenger or drivers side lock, same issue on both doors. While the key is turning normally, the door is locked shut with no way of getting in. Checked with a locksmith and his feeling is, it may require to be drilled out, but it is not my favoured choice. Has anybody else experienced this issue? Is there any other suggestions, any information is greatly appreciated!

I am not sure of the best approach for this, but the folks at the "964 & 993 forum" may have some suggestions and/or experience.

Don't let the locksmith get into it in that heavy handed manner

A tow truck driver could open it for you.

You don't say where you are from but if you have any Maoris in the area they will be into your car in minutes.

Amazing that both door locks are not working / gone bad at the same time. Do you not have a battery key fob to open the car locks remotely? Is the car battery dead? Is the car new to you (only 2 posts and only in the last few days and your first question is how to break into the car)?

Depending on what may be broken, drilling out the lock itself may not solve the problem either.

Sounds like the Imobilizer alarm system is messing with the car.

Thanks dw1, I have put on that forum too.

Thanks Bill Douglas, based in Ireland, drilling locks is not preference.

Thanks Kein_Ersatz - replied on other forum, I didn't anticipate my first post to be a request how to break into my car. Just frustrated and seeking advice if somebody else had a similar issue.
