Title: Mechanism sticks despite maintenance
Product review: This lock worked beautifully for the 1st couple of weeks (so much so that I ordered another for my girlfriend). However, shortly afterwards the lock became really awkward - the key wouldn't turn at all smoothly. It now requires a lot of jiggling/shaking/pulling/twisting to get the darn thing open (closing is fine). The one I bought for my girlfriend followed exactly the same time course as mine (i.e. fine for a couple of weeks then a nightmare to use).I HAVE tried oiling and greasing the locking mechanisms to restore smoothness of operation, but this only alleviates the problem for a couple of days at best (and even then it's nowhere near as smooth as it once was). Steer clear of this model, and any other with the same mechanism.
