Well that because something may be jammed in it try a powerful magnet and check if anything is in the key hole
SOURCE: driver door won't lock with key fob
Check the locking solenoid / actuator in the door behind the panel, could be burned out or loose wire. It should take about 20-30 minutes to open, fix it and close the door panel if there's no major problem. Autozone might be able to help out with a solenoid.
SOURCE: mitsubishi outlander cooling fans not operating
There is a Recall to replace your cooling fan module because of this concern.
Open your hood and look at the black box bolted to your radiator fan by the battery. If it does not have a green dot on it, you have not had the replacement fan module installed.
Contact your local dealer with your VIN handy to verify the recall has not been done and to schedule an appointment.
If the recall has been done, verify if you have power coming out of the module to the fans, as the fans do burn out eventually.... but rarely both at once.

I have a 2001 C240 with the same issue. I removed the positive battery cable from the battery and kept it off for 30 seconds then replaced it. Everything was reset and the key worked.

Try this,,turn the key on ,wait 10 minutes,then turn the key off,then right back on,do this three times,a total of 30 minutes,this should reset the key fob,if this is the problem.

Thank you Winston - turns out it's all to do with freezing temperatures below 20 degrees farenheit and moisture which had found it's way in there before the temperature dropped. Passenger door lock still operates correctly in these temps; so it looks like there's a compromised moisture gasket, seal, strip, whatever somewhere on that door/window.
