Are you sure there isn't another key somewhere? If the outer rim lock
has ever been replaced, its key may no longer match the inner part.

Very likely - that happened to mine (see other post).

Err, how did it get locked, then?

I thought of that. Wonder if one of the kids found an old key ...

Only chatted to the daughter whose English is perfect, having spent most
of her life in the UK. She couldn't explain why it was locked. I guessed
the parents had done it when leaving, using a key they'd taken with them.
But we did have the mother's set to try. That was the one which moved the
lock slightly - the other key not at all. But both worked fine on the
outside barrel.
