HELP kuat bike lock stuck in bike rack with bike on the rack… lol

Just my luck lol, so I’m on my way home from a bike ride and just picked up a brand new bike i Had to lock one bike to the rack while I went in and grabbed the new bike, I get home and The kuat Bike lock That came with the rack is seized in the rack, and I can’t get my bike off lol.

Before I tackle this Thing with an angle grinder does anyone have any suggestions on things I could try first. I’ve already yelled at it, kicked it, and made myself look like a bike thief and i dont know what else to do.

Kuat transfer v2

My god :joy:

Some locks csn be finicky. Push in on thr cable or pull on it as you turn the key

Also a little trick to get the lock cylinder to run smoother and lubricate the pins is to use not just graphite powder but also use some lock deicer whicu will help move the graphite further into the pins . This goes for all types of locks and will not gum up the pins like grease will
