WD40 the latch, and pull the release a few times. Prob just stuck open. Or do you mean its stuck up and you can't lower it?

Angle grind a hole thru it and get a bit of chain and a padlock. BAHAHAHA!!!!!!! :( :wink:

Put the key in and turn it to the unlock position, If that does not work PM me your details and I will come look.

maybe your cable is stuck or loosen up the latch?

what about this one?

What you need to do is get inside with a torch and have someone slam it really hard.

 

Make sure you have the key in your pocket so you can unlock it and let yourself out.

G`day mate, its hard to tell from the pics but its worth checking that the latch isn`t actually in the locked position when the boot is open. When you look at the latch it should have a gap that fits over the locking bar on the beaver panel bit. If that gap is not visible, grab a screwdriver/ pliers whatever and simply return it to the open position. Might take a bit of muscle coz its spring loaded.

Cheers.

Tried to say that but he thought I was talking about opening it.

Does the boot go down to the closed position? or is it jammed up like that on the hinges??
