Title: Bay lock
Post by: Denny Wagaman on May 25, 2010, 02:32:36 AM

Hi Again,

I've sent more questions in the last few hours than I have the last few years.  The Bay where the fuses are located will not unlock either automatically or by using the key.  I've gently tried working the door up and down, in and out, sideways (again I say gently very gently) pushing on either side of the door and then a heavier tap on the sides and in the middle. The key swivels within the lock but doesn't unlock the bay. Last year I replaced many of the bay door automatic switches on the inside of the bay door but I'm not sure if I did this one or not. Not that it should matter (but).  Any creative ideas on how to get it open besides using my friendly neighborhood locksmith?

Thanks Denny

http://www.southco.com/ carries a lot of latches. You will need to have some business with a sales tax number to order and there is a minimum order which used to be $25. Their prices are reasonable. They also have a tech service you can send a picture to.
