Thanks Ron. I do not have any spray, but I just added it to the store list for
next time.

Could be the last pin is stuck. Lube the key up and insert it into the lock a
few times. Graphite is the preferred lube but a pentrating oil might be good if
a pin is stuck. Repeat as many as six times before giveing up. Even then go
back after a hour and try it. If you have a can with one of those long skinny
tubes you may be able to shoot it right into the lock cylinder.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] key and lock
Good Morning,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. I have been catching up on email
after being gone for a while and it sounds like some interesting projects are
going on.
My quest today is relatively small. I have a few doors in my house that I
keep locked because my kids are really good at going three different directions
the moment my attention is focused on something else. Anyway, I tried to put
the key in one of the locks yesterday and the key would not go all the way in.
I tried the key on another lock and it worked just fine. I think something very
small may be inside the lock blocking the key. Is this the only possibility?
Any suggestions for clearing the lock? I really hate the idea of having to get
to the store twice to buy the lock and have it rekeyed to match the others
before I can install a new lock.
Jennifer
