Door locks

[Edrobitaille]

Recently had the car painted. When I try to lock the door it pops right back up

Time to open up the door and check how the body shop connected the linkage when they put it back together.

My guess is the pin circled here is not aligned in between the door lock mechanism itself. It would require you to remove the door card, remove the handle and ensure this pin is between the “fork” mechanism. You should feel resistance when turning the lock with the key

Does your 911 have the central locking system?

Agree with Snwmble - that is the most common issue people have when reinstalling. If it is not in the correct position WRT the linkage, this is exactly what happens. Time consuming, but not a hard fix - had this exact issue and did not notice until AFTER completely putting everything back together.
