my Vagabond got stuck even though the sandwich fit in the keys provided. Can it be repaired?

I doubt it. I have heard really negative stuff about their customer service and fixing Vagabonds. Also the gears inside are plastic so difficult to do much with. I love my Vagabond, but you do have to be so careful. I am actually on my second one because I overstressed the first. My husband who is super handy has the original one stripped down and is looking to see if he can do something. Good luck and sorry to hear about your problem.

If you can still open the box, take it to a lock & key place. They should be able to redo the lock and make you a new key! Best of luck!

I doubt this POS is repairable. Mine cracked where the black tube joins the handle/battery compartment/switch section, and once you have lost the airtightness, it won't work no matter what you do with the switch. Check that area, because when mine quit working, I first suspected the switch too. When I found the tube cracked, an attempt to repair that just made it break further, so it's in the garbage pit now.

The key needs to be broken in like a new shoe. Wiggle it a bit, and pull it out. do this a few times and it should be okay after that.

I know im WAY behind yall, but that was the fix for mine, i just cut a small piece of plastic and stuffed it on top of that "door closed" switch inside the batery compartment and now when i shut the door, the switch is pressed... all fixed!!

If it arrived locked with the keys inside, that would constitute defective product and it should be replaced by Amazon. Mine likewise had the keys and cable inside but was not locked. Possibly it is just closed snugly, so I would put some extra effort into opening it. If that doesn't work, get a new one. Or possibly you're an accomplished burglar and can simply pick the lock open to access the keys...

Well I did. A key is built in and there is no room for the electronic parts. Your old key will not fit in.

I do not believe it can be fixed. The cost of a new one is worth the investment.Do not throw away any of the other items that came with the corkscrew set

Nope. Key is locked in place when in ON position. Even tried pulling it out & it stays in-place.

I had that problem only 1 time, but I blamed it on the freezing temps that maybe the lock was frozen. Make sure you try to push the key in and down slightly and try to turn it. I found one time that the cable wasnt fully locked in the place and it wouldnt let me remove key unless I wiggled it around a little bit.

Same thing happened to me. I hope to be able to glue it again. Don't you think it can be done?

The only reason it would get "stuck" would be because you lost (can't find your key). They send two keys (by the way). That's the idea - it's "stuck" until you (the owner) unlocks it.

I guess you could try to contact the manufacturer, but I doubt it. How'd you manage that anyway? For future reference, I put it in the basket where the utensils go.

There is one screw on the right side probably under the p key. Other than that there is a stick residue that should hold it in place. Mine doesn't so you shouldn't worry.

If you still have the packaging with the appropriate model number, and additional information needed, I would contact the manufacturer to order a new set of keys. Otherwise, a locksmith will have to grind you out a new set after studying the grooves of the lock it self.

Dont need a key... A small screw driver or knife will work. Just pop it in the hole and it will unlatch.

I have had this problem also..I took 2 inch metal pain scraper put it on one of the humps on the lid and tapped it with a hammer. It took a few tries but it jarred it enough so I could unscrew it. Good Luck!
