Hi cechansler,

Which style of case do you have? If you have the G&G type case, push in on the latch while sliding the button over. If you have the newer TSA case, there is a little lever underneath that you pull outward to unlatch. :idea:

I lock myself out of my brief case all the time. You know, the kind with the little combo lock rollers. They get shifted all the time. :lol:

One button moves to the right, and the other one moves to the left. :idea: I guess that some joker at the factory could have locked it though. I think that another Fender case key might work if it is locked. :?:

The locks on those G&G cases are so cheap; the tiny mechanism can get knocked into the "locked" position during shipping. However, all the locks are the same so you could either borrow a key from your dealer or probably use a very small screwdriver to move it into the unlocked position. You could also just pry it open and get it repaired later.
