Have a trunk lock with correct key, the lock is froze key will not turn.
Jarvis (the lock guy) in the G & D is away on swap meet tour.
Can anyone advise a lock smith or what to use possibly to free up the lock.
Also, how to get lock out to be able to re chrome the handle.
Thanks Dave

Penetrating oil applied in minor amounts a multitude of times. Light taps on the lock mechanism and a moderate amount of heat can also help. Be aware that some of the parts can be die-cast and the metal is not as strong or temperature tolerant as steel or aluminum.


How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
