It's stuck!

this a filling cabinet lock, I raked it in 2 seconds, but when I went full 180 to pull it out, it didn't. My city rake is stuck in there!!

Anyone have tips to pull it out intact? I tried:

1. Jiggling
2. Pulling
3. Pressing the pins with a paper clip
4. WD40/Jig A loo
...

I think it's probably stuck between the warding and the keypins which are now immobile with the plug turned. The solution I see is to rotate the cylinder back to the normal position. You'll have to lift the drivers up with something while you do it. It sounds like you tried that already though.

Is there a way to pull the lock out of the housing?

Maybe you could hold the drivers up, and then shim it?

I have not worked on this brand of lock. But, there appears to be a set screw on top of the cylinder that if removed might allow the lock to come out the front where it can be further serviced.
Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool. Wisdom is not just in determining how to do something, but also includes determining whether it should be done at all.

1 press drill shot and some flat screwdriver strength later, I got my rake back!

Well, 90% of it!
Lock is now 60% though...

That was not a screw my friends, but a spring loaded pin, holding the subcore in place.

I'll post a vid later as pictures and words fail me here! Thanks for the input!
