I just got my Strat last week. This morning when I opened the case, the lock litereally fell out of the latch (they didn't tighten the nut holding it in place)
The lock consists of 4 tiny brass sleeves that slip into a tumbler. When the key is inserted, the sleeves are pushed into position so that the tumbler can freely turn. However, try as I might, I can't get the assembly to work properly. It seems to be designed such that if the lock is "upside down", the sleeves won't allow the lock to turn... yet the lock only fits the latch in what would be a an upside down orientation. I know I should just return it an get a new case, but it seems like I should be able to reassemble the stupid thing to work. Any ideas?

I'm with 12B, return it why bother fixing when it might just break again.
