Cylinder Lock Jammed by Corrosion - Evotion Orion

[unlocked-sf]

Same thing happened to me in my Evotion Bijou. Tried vegetable oil, WD40, compressed air, citric acid, dental pick. Tried to force the lock and the first key broke. I was able to get the broken key out. Tried again, second key broke, key not able to be removed. The lock is frozen. There's a basic issue with a lock in a position where it can get corroded from urine.

I'll keep the site posted on how I manage to get it off. Hoping that I don't destroy the cage, but that is a real possibility. First line of attack will be a drill to the lock. If that fails, Dremel cutting tool to cut off the nylon near the lock.

Sent an email to Evotion asking for their advice, no reply received.

I finally did receive a reply generally in line with what I planned: drill out the lock starting with the smallest drill. Haven't done it yet, will let you know how it goes.

Today I got myself free. We tried drilling out the lock, but it was totally frozen. I used a small Dremel with a cutting blade, and cut off the entire plastic section that houses the lock. This freed the PA pin, and I was able to slide the cage off. Needless to say the cage was totaled.

Didn't want to stay locked forever, eh?

(There have been a few here over the years, for whom that would be a dream come true...or so they claimed.)

Wondering if a mild vibrator could work some magic in getting the lube where it needs to be .,,, possibly working the pieces loose.,
You might need to get permission first though.. lol
