ConnorRexilius Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 So I got this 620 pick up. And it didn't come with a door key. So I put in some new locks and they work great. The problem is, I can only unlock and lock the doors of they are closed. Which means if I have a passenger I have to have them get out close the door, I have to lock my door with the key and walk around and lock their door. Any ideas why? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Because thats the way they were made... My doors are the same exact way. Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 My wagon front doors do the same thing. I close the front door. Then open the back door to lock the front. Then lock the back door and close it. Totally annoying Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Its a bit annoying, but I find it easier than locking my keys in the car by accident. If I have to use my keys to lock the door, it ensures that I have them with me. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 On my 710 you push the lock down. Lift up the outer handle. Close the door and release the handle. Door locked. Damned if I can remember if the 620s are that way. Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Seriously? That really sucks. Quote Link to comment
ConnorRexilius Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks for the quick replies guys. I was afraid that would be how they are made. Oh well, at least it has some sweet solex barrel locks! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Because thats the way they were made... My doors are the same exact way. 620 owners aren't too bright so Nissan made the doors so you can't lock the keys in the truck. 2 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Mike, all datsun owners are that way, except for your apparently It's ok I also own a 620, so I know what I'm talking about.. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 It is the same with 521 trucks. If you want to lock the door when you are outside the truck, you need the key Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's ok I also own a 620, so I know what I'm talking about.. Glad to know youre qualified Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Had a 521 in the '70s. Never locked the keys in it so I guess they were the same. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Tried that and my fronts won't lock with the keys. Unlock only... Lame Mines the opposite, It will lock the door but not unlock it :lol: Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I hate this "feature." I have actually thought about trying to remove it. And its not like Datsuns are hard to break into... I have only ever locked my keys in my car once and learned my lesson quickly, and this was 4 years ago. And Connor, why dont you just wait for your friend to close their door, and lock it from inside once its closed, get out and lock your door? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 And Connor, why dont you just wait for your friend to close their door, and lock it from inside once its closed, get out and lock your door? This is what I do. It's a bit annoying for a feature, but regardless how careful I am, it's always nice to know I can't lock my keys in the car. Well worth the pain of using the key to lock it. If my back doors are open, I do as previously stated and lock the fronts through the back. Then lock the door and close it... But then I make sure I jingle my keys in my hand to prove I have them before closing the door. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 On my 710 you push the lock down. Lift up the outer handle. Close the door and release the handle. Door locked. Damned if I can remember if the 620s are that way. 810s are the same-620's are not.You need the key to lock it., Quote Link to comment
john510 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I always thought it was a great idea,ive never locked myself out of my 510.I have locked myself out of my other vehicles. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Same here. First time you slam your door and see the keys sitting on your seat, you'll eat your words and be ashamed of your ungratefulness. Lucky for you, the Datsun engineers loved you, even before you loved them. 1 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Lucky for you, the Datsun engineers loved you, even before you loved them. I love that! Quote Link to comment
Rays74 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Seriously, this bothers some of you?? I too think it's a nice feature that was actually carried over from some American cars..........my '66 Dodge Coronet (big block car :)) 2 dr HT is this way as well, ya gotta have the key to lock it. I also just today went to close my 620's door and not thinking left the keys in the ignition (was chatting on the phone) and in one motion attempted to push the lock down and shut the door.......luckily I was able to thankfully reopen the door and remove keys. :) Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Datsun was declaring war on shivalry. Women who need a man to open their door to let them out should only date guys with f0rds. Quote Link to comment
az_rat210 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 :rofl: Could not resist, after reading all the post, thanks for the laughs. BTW my 80 Datsun 310 required locking the doors from the outside. My B210 you lift the handle, thus I carry an extra set of keys in my opposite pocket, in case I lock my keys inside. :blush: Quote Link to comment
