Default glue in driver doorlock. please help

some stupid ****** decided to put glue in my driver doorlock (idk why they didn't do the paggenger) and i dont know how to get the **** out, and i have no alarm system on my car and i have to crawl through my passenger side to get in now. Is there anyways to get it out or do i have to buy new locked and have them rekeyed or what? This is bullshit, someone needs to die for this one....

super glue? hot glue? elmers glue?

It all depends on the glue, I know from interning as a med res. that acetone eats super glue. As wel as mineral spirits.

If its elmers glue, use you garden hose and spray that sucker clean.

Hot glue, use a razor or needle to clean that sucker out.

Once you have done on of the above go to your local wal-mart and buy the lock graphite **** and re lube your lock.

Hope that helps

Try using a lighter on your key to heat it up and jamming the sucker in the doorlock. works when my locks freeze in the winter

Remove the lock cylinder from the door and squirt some acetone in there, rinse it out, and repeat until clean. Next, find out who did it and fill their mouth with glue.

watch the paint though if you leave straight acetone or mineral spirits on it too long, you will have a nasty streak.
