The aftermarket(?) alarm is on the fritz. Have it checked or replaced. That's a dangerous thing to happen in an emergency.

i would have used some WD 40, to loosen the keyhole.

Actually, the alarm appears to have gone haywire and the lock actuators (the central locking likely being managed by the faulty alarm) could be preventing the owner from unlocking the door.

Sometimes it's just the driver's side door actuator that's "stuck" ... it controls the other actuators ...
