Oops - Yes, at least in my case I have Central Locking [I am under the
impression that all Westy's do but I could be wrong].

None of the lock cylinders allow the key to turn other than the rear hatch.

I also cannot manually depress the door lock nobs, they are frozen in
upright place.

[Did do a quick search through the archives but could not find anything.]

Have not gotten around to diagnosing the problem and have not locked the
van in months, no issues.

I guess I have good Karma, or at least my van does.
