Master Lock mechanism jammed
Hello all,
I use a Master Lock like this: http://www.masterlock.com/cgi-bin/ap...cat_id=D8 418 to secure my bike - one of the ones with a locked, unlocked and 'cinch' position for the key. Earlier today I went to unlock the bike and found that I couldn't move the key in the mechanism away from the locked position. I have a suspicion I put the cable into the cinch in the wrong direction but I'm not sure if this should make any difference. Before locking it, I then pulled it out so that there was no 'spare' protruding from the exit point of the lock and I have a feeling that the cable-end may have somehow got jammed in the mechanism. No amount of pulling/pushing the cable in combination with shifting the key around seem to help. This is the first time it had really been used - it's been lying indoors for months so it should have no corrosion. I sprayed a little PlusGas (non-graphite based) penetrating oil but this has had no discernible effect. I know there's not a lot to go on, but does anyone have any experiences/suggestions for freeing this? Cheers, cam |
