If it were government equipment I would say just try giving it a good stout kick.
But hold the phone! You've got Comfort Access, right? Have you tried saying "Open Sesame".  All seriousness aside, have you tried reading the manual?  |

 Then try the on-line manual. Isn't there a thread here somewhere to a pdf copy? Owner's Circle also has a copy if I'm not mistaken. |

For what it's worth. I just locked mine....Key hole in the horizontal position....then unlocked it....Key hole in the vertical position.
When locked the latch moves but does nothing....when unlocked the latch opens the box.

It does lock and unlock with the key as TP135i described. But I noticed that mine needed a bit more force to open the first time after it had been unlocked - that is the handle seems to have more resistance to overcome. But not enough that it would break! Hope this helps. Tom |

Mine has never locked and am still waiting for the replacement door. I've been very, very patient with them, but soon I go on warpath.
