<p>[QUOTE="Craig Parton, post: 289607, member: 5837"]Nope, no tobacco odor. Just wood. Turns out the key isn't a key at all. I disassembled the lock to find out why it wouldn't work, and found the broken piece inside. If the broken piece were attached to the knob you could not remove it. Gonna have to find someone with fine welding skills to fix this. The lock also is in desperate need of cleaning and lubrication (internally). After examining the internals of the lock closely, I determined it is a type of puzzle lock. You have to know an exact sequence of turning the knobs, in addition to moving them in and out, to open or close the lock. It is an 8 step sequence. I'll post pics of the lock internals soon, and once I get it fixed a video of how it opens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
