Hi - we have just pitched up and am unable to open LPG gas locker it's seems jammed with no other way of getting in - any tips or tricks

 

[M-J]

You could try pouring warm water over the door and surrounding area if it’s jammed rather than the latch not releasing.

Assume it’s unlocked and the latch feels like it’s working?

Hi
What sort of locks does it have? Do you need key? Do you just turn a knob? Does it turn? Does the key turn? Can you feel the latch moving? Have you tried thumping the door while operating the latch?

I find gently pressing on the gas locker dooor makes unlocking it easier, they're obviously well sealed so need a bit of pressure on them.

In our Mileo 243 the key operates the latch, you have to push on the door as you turn the key, so if is unlocked the door swings open. Could the gas bottle or something else in there have moved and blocking the latch from moving? Have heard of others going for a drive on a bumpy road and something moves back and you can then get it open.

Photo of the lock could help.
I made the mistake a couple of years ago of locking both sets of keys inside my garage. It cost over £300 to retrieve them!! So do not consider a locksmith route unless desperate. After 2 hours he had to smash the locks, they are good quality.

Had mine stick last summer. Thought Something had shifted inside. Removed the vent off door and had to wiggle a rod around inside to move stuff.
Think may have also been trying to turn key in wrong direction.
Best of luck.
