I've got a cheapish (Master) rubberized lock on an outside gate that has not
been opened in a while. So it won't open when I turn the key now. I don't
know if the key is not turning fully or if the shackles are stuck.

What's the best approach, whack it with a hammer?




I had the same thing with another lock type. I found that for a few
bucks, you can rent a big-arse set of bolt cutters from a tool rental
place.
