Ours gets stuck sometimes and we spray in WD-40 and it's fine again. This is unsettling. Anyone else have this happen?

Unusual - Remember that you have to push the lock body up or the hasp down to get the lock to release. If you don't it appears to stick until you pull so hard you overcome the lock's latch. Push up or push the hasp down to open once the correct combo is keyed.

I would not rely upon WD-40 for a metal-to-metal application rather a white lithium grease. I have a 5-year-old version of this lock that was sticking. One application of lithium grease and it works like brand new.

So far mine works great, I'm a little corned about it being exposed to the winter elements and freezing up on me just when I need to open it most since I have it on my Storm Shelter. I did however have another one like it that locked up and I couldn't get the Combination opened. I called teh company and they sent me a replacement at no cost. I like it, and after this winter I'll know if I want more of them. Hope this helps.

I have only had mine for two months. No problems so far. However, Most lock manufacturers recommend using graphite for lubrication, not WD40.

My 13 year old son uses this at school daily for months and has never complained. He doesn't have WD-40.

I haven't had that problem. Have you tried shaking the contents first before spraying?

A few of mine stuck, but some didn't. I noticed that the ones that popped right out were the fullest ones. Also, next time I am trying shortening instead of cooking spray.

I had the same issue. Spayed wd 40 under the tread and it worked. Needs to be lubed often.

Not really. Mine gets stuck too. Not much you can do but pull it off and reposition. It doesn't happen all the time. Maybe the manufacturer has a solution.

Sorry I didn't have this problem. Are you turning the water flow to the sprayer off after use? Mine leaks some if I don't. Good luck!

I had that happen once, I had gotten some dirt in the lock. I got it out sprayed some WD40 in there and it was good.Another time I just had the key turned the wrong way (locked not unlocked) it has to be all the way open to come outHope that helps, have a good Xmas!!

After using mine for over a month, I started having that issue as well. The front wheel seems to get stuck. I am planning to call Chicco for a fix, but in the meantime, a little WD40 got it working just fine.

i had the same issue and found that it was the solid rubber washer in the spray valve. it appeared to be stuck in the valve chamber. i flipped it over in desperation and now it works fine. the older model had a built in tool in the spray lever to un-tighten the valve chamber.

This problem sounds very similar to the problem the Steel Storm typically has. From the description of this gun I wouldn't be surprised if this has the same internal design only with a longer barrel. I had the same problem with my Steel Storm and it acted like the seal on the valve that the firing pin hits is sticking. So I shot some aerosol teflon lubricant down the barrel and calked and fired it a few times and that fixed it.

Oh. The reason it gets stuck is cause of the brush on its side. I bet if u removed that with a screwdriver. The issue would go away.

It may be froze up. Spray some WD40 in it and wait a few minutes and turn it with a pair of pliers or vice grips. That should do the trick.

We've had the same problem. I'm trying to find a spray that will clean it better.

Please clarify your question. As to the previous response, I haven't had any problems with the lock. Live near the coast, so have moisture/salt air and had to WD-40 a few months back to put back in working order (works like new again). My only complaint was that the key is very small and hard to "one-hand" unlocking it.

Mine dripped once in awhile also, but I found if I pulled the handle to completely off it would stop. It rarely does it now, other than that I don't know.

Tammy,I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps

Mine seems to be fine but if needed, I would sand it a bit and put some oil on it. I don't think I'd opt for WD-40 since it's used for my food... just a bit of vegetable oil would probably do the trick. It will get smoother with use too.
