Well, the other day the key of my main lock (Onguard Brute LS 8000) got stuck inside it. After trying to remove it several times I got frustrated and had to come back home with a new key chain.
The most disappointing thing is that the lock is almost new and it has less than a month of use. In fact the locking-unlocking mechanism works perfectly fine, but it's absolutely impossible to remove the key.
I've tried spraying WD40 inside, hammering and turning the key thousands of times, but nothing has worked yet.
Any suggestions or recommendations? Could a locksmith repair it for less than the price of the lock?
Unfortunately I don't have any warranty on it because although it was brand new, I bought it from a particular and out of the UK.
