car locked (flat auxiliary battery)

[G1zm0]

my mg ev LR Trophy mk2 has run into an issue.
car has been sitting unused for about 3 months , now I want to use it , the 12V battery is flat.
the doors won't open , so I took out the blade from key, inserted and twisted it clockwise.
door still doesn't open.

the key twisted to about 5 to the hr . (using analog clock as reference ) .
I don't want to force to 0 in case it breaks , is the key ment to do that.??

anyone have experience with this , or is there another way I can open the bonnet..
should i force it , or is it a rac job?

I have put wd40 in lock.

I would say it was an RAC job unless you want to damage the car

Is it possible the door has unlocked but the door seal rubbers are stuck to the body?

If it is a dead 12V battery, the mirrors will not fold out, still think it is time to call the RAC.

Don't you have the free AA cover?

A totally dead battery will not activate the solenoid in the lock (which is what the manual key does as well). Ask me how I know.
