Thanks for all the input.....I really think I have a tumbler hung up in the lock. I have an appointment with the locksmith in the morning. I am going look closely at the mechanism when I get it off to see if I can jury rig an emergency bypass to the lock. A small piece of st.st leader hooked around the latch hidden but accessible from out side might work.
