About to depart on a trip and can’t access my front storage. Something with the lock. Is there a way to bust the lock? Or some other trick anyone knows. Key won’t turn. Tried all directions on the key. No dice.
 
Cancel SOS. Called the dealer. Called GD. No one could help. Found a hammer. Whacked the pull tab and the whole thing rotated. Figure out why it was an issue later.
 
Usually a quick shot of lube fixes that issue...something that won't collect dust and dirt in the future.
 
When I've had that issue it turned out to be the wrong key. Key fits but lock didn't turn. I used too much force and broke the key off in the lock. After getting the key out and grabbing my duplicate I realized it was the wrong one and the right one worked just fine. Embarrassing. :doh:
 
Love those master keys...hammers, prybars etc.

Well, didn’t seem like something duct tape would fix, so getting out a hammer seemed to be the logical next step in a seemingly unsolvable situation.
