joshnosh Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I am using the Ace II barrel locks, and for the first time in 14 years, the key would not go far enough into the lock to turn it. I tried the spare key, but that would not go in either. There looks like some metal jammed in it, but I couldn't get it out.

cvending Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Sounds like your lock gave out. Best way is to drill out the lock and replace. It would not be the key. Starty small and increase drill bit size slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
