Location: Darboy USA | Anyone ever have a lock on one of your compartments get locked and stuck? I locked one of my lids on vacation, and now when I put the key in I can't turn it at all. I think something may have sprung loose or sheered off. Is there anyway to fix it besides punching the lock out or drilling through?
Any help would be appreciated and worth a beer or two!! |

| wd 40 with the key in it... you got some dirt in there... I never lock them... those upward facing locks just collect the dirt... I would suggest becoming intimate with the locks and lubricate them every once in a while... I was in the marine business for a long time, they are not really high tech... I've actually taken the metal flappers off the back side to make the compartments easier to open... Tuffys got a real snug watertight fit... I do not ever leave anything valuable in the boat any more... if some dumbass wants to drag a gigantic optima battery down the road, go for it... |
