OK, when I got up this Am i contacted my car ins. company (Geico), they also insure our trailer and explained the problem with my lock and he stated that we are covered for a locksmith to come out up to 100.00 per incident. So they contacted a locksmith in our area and they found one that would do the job for 55.00.
So 2 hours later he showed up and stuck a lock picking pick in the cylinder and popped open the lock. he said that on these FIC locks a pin inside sometimes slips making the lock think its locked and somehow will not let the key to be inserted. He stated that it happens sometimes as the lock gets older and the parts start to wear down inside. He said it may not ever happen again but advised to replace the lock since they are fairly a cheap insurance .
So I will look for one on line and replace it this weekend.
So all in all everything worked out fine with no damage being caused to anything and best of all no cost to me.
Want to thank everyone for all the help, suggestions and advise that was offered. As usual, everyone on here is always ready to help out when ever a problem arises. This is my first place to come to to see what can be done no matter what goes wrong.
THANK YOU ALL AGAIN.
