    Can anyone tell me how to fix a glued lock!

    I have a shutter on a window that one of the locks has been glued by some little b.
    How to I get this lock working again.

    Also, if there's a liberal coating of WD40 will it stop the glue from bonding if it happens again.

    Small gas torch, maybe melt/burn glue out of lock? Can you snip lock maybe and replace

    can you remove the lock, maybe immerse it in a solvent .

    I would not try and burn anything. Disaster could follow.
