Nana's going solo.

as it is with most every truck on the road. and, unless the mechanism is messed up, it is impossible to lock the door from the outside without the key. the whole reason truck makers did this, was so you DIDNT lock your keys in the truck. silly rabbit.....

 

Freightliners and Internationals can be locked with the door open, close the door and you are then locked out. Of course, I had some canine assistance last time I was locked out. A nice felon opened my door for me.

 

hahah....a nice felon. LOL

 

Sounds like the canine guard dog did not accept your ID.

 

some trucks with the peep window in the right door--you can pop that out if the rubber was put in backwards--and some volvo's with the tiny winow up high in back of sleeper you can get it out--warning on that one--better be skinny to get in--i fit at one time--dont think i could do it now tho--think i only locked them in once--had to borrow coat hanger--wasnt to bad to get in--the vent winow wasnt a real tight fit--ie--worn out frieghtshaker

 

As usual Dick....You don't know what the hell you're talking about!

Many trucks including my W900L and every Kenworth I've ever had can be locked without the key by just pusing down the lock and closing the door!
Maybe yours doesn't do that because when they saw who was gonna have it, they decided they needed to make it childproof!

 

The 2005 Columbia I drove could be locked without a key. However, both of us carried keys so that was never a problem.

KH

 

My 9400i does that too......just for the record.

 

Get some rest Nana
