[QUOTE="mike_123, post: 764722, member: 20063"] buddy of mine had this same problem a few times as near as we figured its caused from not lining up the hole just right when you actuate the lock so the locking part that pops out of the bag hits the side of the hole first then he forces it into the locked position causing it to skip a tooth so to speak if any of that makes sence to you try his easy fix lock some vice grips to the tab and get a bar of sorts to pry on the vise grips upwards basically pull the tab out of the bag till it skips that tooth in the ratcheting mechanism each time he miss aligns the bags when putting them on it happens again easier and easier everytime it happens now he can almost pull the tab out by hand as the ratcheting mechanism is getting rounded off either that or pull it apart and take some pictures so we all know whats inside [/QUOTE]
