Place to repair Mazda3 door lock

[Imesh Umayanga]

Hi all,

The front left door lock of my Mazda3 (2008) is malfuctioning sometimes. The lock is movable and is locking alright. But when unlocking, its impossible for the passenger to unlock it properly (the button is moving, but not unlocking), and I have to lock and unlock from the central lock 5-6 times to get the door unlocked.

Any idea whats the problem or can you guys recommend a good place (around colombo or kottawa) to get this fixed?

Thanks!

Well...hard to say without actually looking at it or even actually taking a part. It could be something as simple as the mechanism inside (there are rods and levers) need to lubricated or it could be that the actuator (the regulator/motor that makes the lock go up and down) is showing signs of breaking down soon.
