Some A$$hole put superglue in all of my door lock tumblers and now the key won't unlock the door (luckily I installed keyless entry a couple months ago!)...anyone know a substance or way to remove the glue???? Thanks!

I'm not sure what exactly can eat at super glue but I'd try something like paint thinner, acetone, etc
 






bad prank or an a$$hole?
 






I would like to hear a definate answer myself................................but honestly, I think you are screwed. :(
 






Put some nail polish or acetone in the key hole and work the key in and out and try turning. After it frees it up, spray some graphite in the lock.
 






Most Hobby stores will have a product to disolve cyanoacrylate (AKA CA, krazy glue, superglue). Its main ingredient is acetone. Just be careful with any of it near the cars paint.
