No.
I looked inside the lock, and some of the little balls aren't there like they used to be. There's no familiar resistance either. It's like it just decided to fail.
Damn.
My first suggestion would be to wedge an enormous crowbar between the short c-channel arm and the section of frame that forms the base of the lock... and give it hell.
Since the lock rod itself is made from hardened steel, I'm not convinced that a pneumatic cutting wheel will work.
Not to pry, but was there any sign that the lock was dying?
I'm kinda nervous about being trapped in a similar situation.
