onelesscharlie Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Eight o clock duly arrived and I got everything ready for a few hours foxing, last thing to do was go to the gunroom and grab the rifle, mag and night vision. Turned the key in the BS cabinet and it stopped after a quarter turn, for the next hour I tried everything... pushed, pulled, tweaked, cursed, lubricated, filed and then cursed some more. Only reasonably dark night for over a week and im sat in watching grade c celebrities making idiots of themselves. GRRRRRRRRRRRR not happy.

Happened to me once; realised a shotgun had fallen/moved such that it was leaning on the lock and stopping it moving. The cure was to take a steel rod and pass it through the key hole to force/push the shotgun away from the lock. May be something similar, could be worth a look.

quiteman Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I had this happen to me and I found that if I tapped around the lock when turning the key it opened for me, sometimes a ward inside gets left behind as you turn the key, worth ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisme Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 It also happend to my BS safe. I called them and they were going to send a lock smith out but it was going to take a few days. I you tube lock picking and watched this clip, ten minuits later it was open. Took the lock out cleaned and oiled it and its still working now three years later. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ergid Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 hi have you tried pressing against the door whilst turning the key ,I once had a rifle sling closed in the door without knowing ,have you tried a good thump with a rubber hammer , you need to book yourself in for a counselling course minimum 6 sessions after last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbie Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I once put the wrong key in the bottom lock instead of the top lock. It turned just about half a turn and then wouldn't go back or forward. Had to drill the hardened steel out around the lock to get it out took ages and quite a few drill bits. Eventually got the key out. Had to re weld the lock in, filled it smooth and a lick of paint as good as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finman Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Same thing happened to me some years back...It was a Brattonsound cabinet. The company sent a locksmith who opened the lock by applying extra pressure on the key (I was afraid to force it in case it broke in the lock). He also did change the lock FOC and gave me two spare keys. Although inconvenient at the time, I cannot fault the service... best wishes, Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
