    If you disconnected the battery, then turning the key in the barrel should unlock the car. if it doesnt work then its not a central locking issue, its a door lock issue. It sounds like you might have seized locks!

    I would start by finding out why the key in the lock doesnt unlock the car. It should do when the battery is disconnected, so this may explain the issues that your seeing, but it could be another factor.

    You could try and spray some WD-40 on the end of the key, and then try and turn a the key a few times, if that doesn't then it could be your locks thats at fault.
