On my 93 1500, my door lock on my right fairing pocket has quit working. Does anyone know how to get the locked cover off without breaking it? Can i force it with a screwdriver or drill out the lock? The spring cover to the lock broke and i believe part of it feel down into the key slot making the lock inoperable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreaciated.

Mine did the same thing, if you have a spare key gently tap it into the lock to get the cover off then replace the lock.

Try a really strong vacuum cleaner and it may get anything in there out !!

I hate to say it, santini1953, but your idea sucks!

Sucks really bad

Have you tried it ? I have always thought what works for one may not work for the other , but when you are in a clinch ! I am sorry ! Maybe you don't have the Quarter for the vacuum !! lmbo

Did you try something like WD40 sprayed into the lock to see if it would free up the lock??

You might try a strong magnet.

You might try a strong magnet.

That was gonna be my suggestion, but you beat me to it... Guess us Texans think alike on some things.

never use wd40 on a lock as it gums it up . Use teflon or silicone lube. The best lube for a lock is graphite.

Never use wd40 as a lube. It gums up the works. wd40 is for water displacement. Use graphite as a lube on locks .
