Do I have to unlock and lock driving instructor's car on the test?

Seems like a stupid question but my instructor hasn't said anything and I'd feel stupid asking. I tried googling it but Google doesn't understand my question, thinks I'm asking about securing car when parked. Will I have to unlock and lock my instructor's car in test or will the car be left unlocked once reaching the test centre?
If you would struggle to unlock a car then that may not bode well for your test anyway? That seems like a rather basic prerequisite for driving.

It's unclear otherwise what your concern would be...?
Given that leaving it unlocked will likely invalidate any insurance if it is stolen, I'd suggest that it's not going to be sitting there waiting for you to slide in.

Have to agree that if you struggle with pressing the unlock button on the fob, or putting the key in the door, the test seems a bit redundant.
