[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 102516, member: 1136"]I bought a bench this past weekend that had sat outside for who knows how long. It has 2 side by side drawers. One of the drawers is beyond stuck. You can tell where someone has tried to pry into it all the way around. It looks tight, but not swollen. The other drawer came out relatively easy and has a notched area behind the key hole like where a locking mechanism would have gone. So either it's swollen shut or i need to find a key to unlock it. How do I go about freeing swollen wood or how do I go about finding a correct key, or at least narrowing down the type of key I'm looking for[ATTACH=full]25905[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]25906[/ATTACH] ?[/QUOTE]
