Had some issues with the bike lock as I frequently lock it outside but today it was fully jammed (maybe important to note it was raining the last few days). Looked through some other threads, the most common suggestions seems to be WD40 but wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar and maybe more specific advice to offer? Photos attached b not sure it’s helpful haha

Happened to me a couple of weeks back. I used WD40 specialist penetrant (normal Wd40 didn’t work) and just sprayed a ton in the locking mechanism, left for a few minutes and repeated a couple of times. Eventually it came loose.
My issue was the key not turning, just spray a load of WD40 in whatever’s stuck.
Dawn dishwashing liquid saved me a couple of times.
If it’s a key lock, a small tube of graphite is the correct lock lubricant.
