RattleCan

Catfish- thank you. Your guidance helped me greatly and saved me possibly buying a second lock I didn’t need. For me it was a combination of a few issues. Not understanding how fj40 locks work, not having the inside lock finger tab tight...

RattleCan, The key releases at the 12 o clock position only. I turn to the right I think to lock, then back to 12 and pull the key. Same but opposite side to unlock, then back to 12 to release the key. When I installed mine, I couldn't get it...
