Leave door open for a good while, make it a comfy enticing place to go to, try feeding him all his meals in there, kongs, chews, bones etc. hide treats, toys etc anything he enjoys in there to find, make being in there fun and a bit of a game, make the crate more comfy than anywhere outside of the crate. You could also try clicker training him to go in there if he responds to that. When he is really really sleepy, gently push the door to but not locked and gradually build up the amount of time he spends in there. When he is asleep in there don't disturb him and make sure the crate is somewhere quiet and peaceful if that is possible. Ok, hope some of that helps - good luck!
