Someone solved the missing key problem in the past by forcing the whole lock around. Now the lock hole is round. I have a new replacement lock, but obviously it just turns around, I need to make it stick as if the hole was still shaped like the lock, with the notches on the sides. Does anyone have a good idea on how to solve this problem?
What kind of door? For what machine? You could find a bigger star gripped washer and put it on the lock threads, insert it in the circled out hole and tighten it real good and tight. Buy a keyless lock and tighten good, it shouldn't move if you keep the locking bar loose from the door frame or, depending on the door, buy a new door skin.
