About 90 dogs to turn the lock. Might need some spray grease in there, prob via spraying on the key. Thumbs Up

Try gentle pressure the other way (i.e. to lock) alternately with similar gentle pressure to open. Leaning on the door at the same time may also help. A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Not so much that you are trying to actually turn it the other way but to push internals in the opposite direction to help with a space for lubricant to penetrate, and also the Sods' Law thing about it releasing once you tighten before loosening. A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
