[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1400811, member: 19880"] I have had 2 Givi (V46) cases. For both of them, the locks move without any significant resistance. I usually keep the key in the lock since it is captive when unlocked - removing, of course, when parked anywhere public. You mention that there is no resistance when the key goes in. Lock innards are almost certainly gummed up. You will have to pull the cylinder and give it a good soak with some solvent. Maybe even dismantle to clean the wafers. Lube lightly with some silicone or other suitable lubricant. If you can't get it open to dismantle, flood it with some WD-40 or Seafoam "Deep Creep" and let it sit. What was it lubed with before? Beef tallow? (Maybe Krazy Glue) [/QUOTE]
