how can I fix my Kia Rio central locking?

I lock my car using the remote central locking but it unlocks itself soon after. I have just had a new battery in the key but this has not solved the problem. The car is up for sale but I cannot sell it with this problem, Help, Kia Rio 2004 1.4 LX

hi i am having the opposite problem,aftewr fitting a new door handle that snapped i must have knocked the rod that connects the lock button inside the door to the lock.it might be worth taking the door panel off and checking that the rod is moving freely,my button inside dosent want to stay up so it just locks itself again,maybe yours isnt able to stay down?
