I have a cheap stack-on 14 gun safe. Went to open it today and the key lock won’t turn. Tried lock lube and tapping with rubber mallet, no luck. It’s bolted to wall too. Any suggestions??

Hope this isn't insulting, but have you tried pushing in on the door while turning the key?

We pray for safety, one and all
We pray we may return next fall

Stack on POS. Yeah I got one. I've had issues stuffing too many guns in cases in there, one shifts forward blocking the lever that pivots on the keyed lock. Dead in the water. Like hanco says shake it around maybe lay it on its back and see..

Call a plumber.
No. Wait. Call a blacksmith.
Carpenter maybe?
I think they all work on locks.

You are now reaping the savings of buying a cheap safe. Now go get a real safe and get rid of that erector set toy.

Worse case scenario, drill out the lock where the key goes in, with a 1/4" drill bit. When the pins are drilled, the lock will turn as if it were a key there.
If that doesn't do the trick, then yes, something has shifted inside to block the lock mechanism from turning. Then you are slicing through the exposed front door with a cutoff wheel, and replacing that $100.00 gun locker. (Thought about getting one of those myself.) Fits between the studs in the 14&1/2" stud core space.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Yup. Diamond blade. And a face mask. Done deal. Try not to set the carpet on fire.
