<p>[QUOTE="Craig Parton, post: 291555, member: 5837"]Turns out that what I thought was a key was actually not supposed to be removable. Someone had turned it too hard and broke the metal arm off of it. After that it was possible to just slide it out. I just dropped off the part to get it repaired. Once I get it back I'll reassemble it and post a video of how it opens. I'm excited to try it!</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, without those springs the secret compartment lid would be very hard to open, and would close too easily.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
