Yup i knew what you meant. I don't think the secondary lock will function if the primary lock fails i can't remember if they are sequential.

The button on the center console is called the central lock button. When you lock from inside the car that does not double lock that's why your can open the doors from inside.

You can just lock the driver door with the key blade and skip the remote button it should lock all the doors and set the alarm in one step.

What I'm saying about door getting struck is still valid. If the double lock motor fails while locked you can't open the door. Most often you'll get one more chance but i recommend fixing the DLA sooner than later in case both motors are dying. It's very tricky to get the door card out and Jimmy the double lock open with the door shut.

I did make a video on how to do that for when it happens.
