First thing to try is to use the key in the door manually - it'll be very stiff, and you'll see the door lock pop up.

Correction - you may see the door lock pop up, but it might unlock anyway... ;) :y

correct first time tried with key turned it clockwise when rest of doors open and well as my door showing it was open it did open but now the key will do everything it should but the door will not open.
like I have said originally the solonoid is operating the knob correctly but it just doesnt open

What's the temperature up there? If it was damp when you shut the door, and it's now well below zero, then the door may be frozen shut :-\

BUT and it is a big but, I'd have thought that would affect all the doors equally :-\
