In Europe www.keyprof.com is the man to go. He restored several vintage 
car locks for me without any issue.

   Hi all


   I cannot lock my rear trunk. I have several long trips planned over the
   next few months and would like to be able to lock it with a key.


   The key inserts just fine, but I can't rotate it. I bought some lock
   lubricant, and have liberally doused everything but it doesn't make
   much difference. Actually that isn't quite true, as the key goes in
   soooo nice, but I can't rotate it.


   I've removed the barrel, and as I understand it the dark gray thing
   should slide out and fit into a recess, preventing the button from
   being pushed. But the key doesn't even begun to budge. I'm leaving it
   to soak in the lock lubricant for a while, but any suggestions? The
   last time I actually locked it, which was probably a couple of years
   ago, it was pretty tough to turn the key. I haven't tried locking it
   since - I wonder if the guts are now completely rusted and frozen?


   Is this something that a locksmith can open up? Or is there some
   magical secret to getting this to work?


   Thanks all!
