When the key lock mechanism quits working it can be an exercise in frustration.  If you can shimmy the lock asembly out and remove it without damaging anything, yoiu can put your finger down in the hole and on the right you will feel a tab..push it and the unit will unlatch.  The lock mechanism has a round flat spring around the shank of it and it has two sharp protrusions that lock and hold the lock assembly in place..  hard to describe, but if you can somehow get something down there to press on one of the tabs, you can remove the unit.  If you want a jpg picture of the lock itself and the retaining spring thing I described, you can email me off list and I will send it to you so you can see what I am trying to describe.   mfsjr2@comcast.net
