I could REALLY use your help!

My trusted Dudley lock, which I have used for over 10 years, seems to be stuck after I left it in my car on a really cold nite! The locking portion of the U seems to be stuck: it won't pull up, and it won't go back down into the rest of the lock. The dial won't move, either... although if I jiggle the U, i can get it to move a little bit (sometimes).

I've managed to tug on the U portion such that it's now free to pivot about the pivot point on the lock... but I still can't get it to go back into the lock (it seems that the locking portion is jammed).

Any ideas? I'd hate to get a new one, since I've used this same combinations forever!

Please email me at matthewrlee@gmail.com if you can help!!!

Thanks,
Matt

Hey guys im new here at lockpicking101 ,you can call me alpha, and I'd just like to introduce myself a bit. Yesterday i seemed to have sparked an interest on lockpicking (i forget how?) and i went online to do some research. I came across your website and joined and read up on what kind of locks i should start trying out and i also read about how locks work and such. Today when i came home from school i immediately went to grab the old bolt lock that was replaced on my door. I took it apart down to the bare mechanics so i could get a better idea of how it worked. I then put it back together and assembled 2 makeshift lock picks using a paperclip and a thin strong peice of wire. I used a another peice of metal to put pressure on the lock turning mechanism and then preceded to pick (maybe i rakked im not sure?) the lock. After about five minutes or so i succeded in picking the lock and now im here to introduce my self and read more about the art of lockpicking. nice to meet you all.

Hello. I am from Canada 17 years old. Male. I currently own a small set of lock picks (11 piece) and i am kinda looking at Lock picking as a career choice.

Hi Woofcat (love the name

)

There's a whole TON of info here that might help you make your decisions career-wise. Have a look at the Locksmith Business Information forum. There's even a thread where you can ask a locksmith questions about the trade.

Enjoy!

P.S. When I hang out in this thread saying hello to new members, sometimes I feel like a greeter and Walmart.
