I heard that trick also worked.


Here are some other tricks...

-You didn't mention this, but try squirting ALOT of penetrating oil in the tumbler while working it with the key. Hopefully it might dislodge some debris that may be stuck in there.

-Try turning the wheel while turning or jiggling the key

-You might want to release the pressure on the lock by raising the front wheels off the ground and continue turning the wheel and working the key.

-If by chance you get it freed, get a new lock right away and don't trust it again!


Good luck!
