Battery Compartment lock

The battery compartment lock won't turn at all. Brand new rig! Less than 3 months old... frustrated. Any suggestions other than calling a locksmith?

Is it a standard CH751 lock?
Did you try pressing in the lock to see if it's just binding?

As a last resort you could drill out the tumblers.

Reach up from down below and work it lose.
They are the lamest locks possible.
A smart kid could get it open.
