rjkvending Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I just ordered a rack oak machine (used) and the locks on the big oaks are so tight they snapped one key already. All 4 locks are extremly tight, before i snap my last key has anyone ever run accross this problem and have a quick solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adog Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Try some PBJ liquid greese wrench or something? I forgot what its called exactly but suppose to help loosen bolts, sparkplugs, etc. Get it at like pepboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Make sure it's the correct key and it's inserted completely, sounds simple but might be problim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjkvending Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 What is it? Some type of lubrication, that u spray inside of the lock i am guessing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adog Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yeah I used it on my spark plugs. You spray it on and let it sit for like 5 minutes and its suppost to slowly work its way throughout and help lub it. I think it has a yellow cap. But I bought an 1800 that was to tight on top and has gunk in it and I am going to have to drill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful, it will dull the Lexan and possibly burn a hole through it. PBJ is peanut butter and jelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoinOpman Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I just ordered a rack oak machine (used) and the locks on the big oaks are so tight they snapped one key already. All 4 locks are extremly tight, before i snap my last key has anyone ever run accross this problem and have a quick solution? I would use WD40 over PB Blaster first. PB Blaster smells worse and uses harsher chemicals. I prefer the oil pen type of the spray so I can control the amount of oil that goes in the lock. Make sure the key is seated FULLY in the lock before turning. And remember Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
