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!
