My three year-old, NEVER used before today, cargo box’s locks (one each side) refuse to open. I verified that the lock one lock on the side I opened to load the car from worked fine prior to loading it up and heading three hours away for vacation. The cargo box has been stored its entire unused life in my finished dehumidified basement. It‘s in perfect condition
Fast forward to our arrival. Neither lock will budge. What’s also of note is that the slot of the only lock I verified prior to use is lines up halfway between locked and unlocked. The other side lines up with the locked icon. Be that as it may, the lock still worked fine before we left. Also of note is that, while finagling the key in the lock for several minutes, at one point the cylinder slid out with the key!!! Before I could process that I slid it back in and it locked into place. No matter how much I finagled and pulled it did not come out again.
I‘m at a loss. 1/3 of our stuff is up; so I’m pretty pee’d off. All lock smiths are closed for the weekend.
To top that off, I’ve decided that it’s time to finally re-home our puppy. That last straw occurred just after we arrived to our rental beach house. As soon as we opened the car door our 10 month old reactive Husky/Shepard/mutt 40#+ dog bolted out into the road; sees some lady with a small dog and bee lines over to them.The lady was super pee’d off after having to pick up her dog and fend off mine. Luckily he chose this time not to be aggressive. He seems only to really be a threat to men and large dogs, thank goodness
He‘s seemingly fine around women, children and most smaller dogs, but has snipped at men and, during a trial play date with another medium sized dog, he aggressively went straight for its throat twice before my wife wrestled him away.
I know you guys most likely won’t be able to help me with the locks nor the dog. Thanks for letting me vent!
