An plot holder found themselves with there new key stuck in the lock on the west gate of DM yesterday, fortunately there is another gate so they could get out. The padlock has been changed and the defective one returned to the supplier. I’ll put up the video of the new locks, I assume these locks are supposed to be quite robust so hopefully this is just a one off incident but it never hurts to be gentle!
I found that a jiggle was much more productive than trying brute force.
Christina, Mul T Locks have a very good build and security reputation ( and pricey) ; I would definitely second the “be gentle and don’t force” recommendation. Did the plot holder explain how they tried to extricate the key? It would be good to know so anyone else does not go down that route again, thanks for the post, Roy
