My remote key fob doesn't work to unlock the car, battery in the remote isn't dead as I put a new one in 3 months ago and it worked last weekend. Can't open the locks with any of my keys. It feels like it unlocks most of the way and then you can't turn it further. I think this is a sign it's deadlocked?

Battery on the car isn't dead, started last weekend and you can see the alarm light flash as well as the clock is working.

Is my only option to break into the car (preferably through none destructive means) ?
 
Try spraying wd40 into the door locks and leaving it for an hour, then give it a gentle back and fourth again and see if it frees up. Deadlock affects the opening from the inside, not the outside.

Could be the remote has had a problem like broken solder joints or bad battery connection and you've not tried the door locks for some time hence they're stuck.
