Guitar Case "Stuck"

Hercules, CA✭✭✭ Dupont MD-100, Altamira M01F
The very nice Gypsy Jazz case that I use for my Cigano guitar has a stuck locking latch. It had been working perfectly until yesterday. The locking cylinder turns freely and there are no dents. I tried four different keys and they all turn but none open. Best suggestion so far: take to a locksmith. Any ideas?
Thanks,
John Powell

Hey John have you tried a shot of WD40 followed by some gentle tapping with a tiny “hammer”?
Good luck!

Will,
No WD40, yet. I did try some soft wax which is a lubricant, of course. The case is my favorite one, so I don't want to damage it. I've no idea what started the problem as it hardly ever goes outdoors.

I don’t think I’ve ever locked a case latch!
