@alice@lgbtqia.space @OohOkayKay@beige.party Spokes aren't that hard to bend :)
I'm just not getting it though :(
I thought I moved some mechanism, but that didn't get it there.
My memory is that the key needed to turn two full revolutions to work, but the videos I'm watching don't imply that is possible.

@LovesTha@floss.social typically there's only one point of contact needed to open those locks, but you may have to turn it more than one full revolution to throw the latch. When you find the right position, there should be a *little* springiness to it (compared to the solid warding), then it should give way and start to turn. The mechanism may not be directly down from the blade of the key, but might be at a jog from it—making contact on the side tabs instead of the center of the blade. @OohOkayKay@beige.party
