Hi,
Do you mean it won't open from the outside? I don't know where you live, but could something be freezing?

Let me know.

It wont open from inside or outside. but it happens when it's cold outside and only after the truck warms up.

Hi,

The first thing I would suggest is to make sure the latch assembly on the door is clean and tight. Next, lubricate the mechanism with something like WD40 and see if it helps.

Let me know.
