How to unlock Automatic Car Lock System

on "many" cars? those "many" cars must have been fords

I understand the inner workings of car door lock mechanisms as I have dealt with them on numerous occasions. I never said that a car door works like a "dead bolt" on a house. Certain impacts cause the lock mechanism rods inside the door to bend, causing the door to pop open. Granted, on many cars, it doesn't matter if the door is locked or unlocked because the handle inside will still unlock the door. But on all Mazdas with the exception of the pickup trucks, you have to unlock the door before the handle inside the vehicle will open the door. So it technically speaking it is SLIGHTLY safer to have your doors locked.

Yes, unfortunately. But it's amazing the number of lock mechanism components that are shared between Ford and Mazda. aka (Probe, Escort, 94+ Mazda Pickups)

and it's amazing how Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, GM, Chrysler, BMW, VW, Mercedes, Hyundai, Kia built cars DON'T have door mechanisms that will unlock when you pull the inside door handle

Mazda owned by Ford does not make a Mazda car a Ford

WRONG....Ever sit inside a Dodge Truck? Last time I checked it was a Chrysler product. And as a matter of fact, the doors open by simply pulling the handle. Get your facts straight before making generalizations. I'm pretty sure there are other vehicles that work like this but I can't remember off the top of my head.

Also, ask a reputable locksmith to show you the lock mechanism components and keys for both Ford and Mazda. You will be amazed with what they show you.

And I never said that Mazda is a Ford. (rant)

OK...Let's get this thing back on topic....
