someone has glued the locks on my car.is there any way to remove it without going to a garage?please help! ta?

Question

that doesnt involve to much expence and changing of locks etc?please help me!

Answer 1

Is it superglue? Acetone or nail polish remover will dissolve it, but will also strip your car's paint if you are not careful. Put lots of masking tape below your lock before you start. If it is elmers glue, hot water will do it. You will probably have to remove the lock cylinders anyway, and soak them in the above respective fluids to get it all out. Rinse them out, dip in alcohol, dry and put some light machine oil or WD40 in them to make sure they will still function. Of course, if you can't get in your car at all, you may have to call a locksmith or take it to the dealership.

That sucks, people have no respect for others' property these days. Good luck!

Answer 2

If the glued used is an instant glue, there are available instant glue remover solutions in supermarkets.
On way to fight this type of prank is to install a remote control door locking system.

Answer 3

It depends on what was used to muck up the locks. If it was epoxy, you're screwed, the locks will need to be removed and the tumblers replaced.

Other types of glue may or may not respond to solvents, and part of that will depend on how deeply the stuff got injected into the lock.

Answer 4

Try wd40, insert the red straw as far as it will go and squirt a little in there and it should eat away the stickiness

Answer 5

Spray some WD-40 in it and wait for a while.

Answer 6

Why would someone do that in the first place???
Don't be such a pain in the @$$, and quit yelling at everyone for everything and they won't do things like that to get back at you.
