If you can't clear them up, you can buy new locks from Malloy or MazdaTrix and have a locksmith re-key the lock to your key. If I recall, they are $50-60 per.

I wouldn't even buy new ones. Get used key cylinders - they should be cheap. PM FritzFlynn on them. Take them to a locksmith, should only run about $20-30 MAX to redo the tumblers for your key. Install and good to go.

Repair the locks as Dale suggested. Then tap off the power line above your house and ground that to the frame. Make it easy for said bastard to glue them again.

Enjoy the fireworks show.

Nail polish remover is the same thing as acetone and like said above just soak the key cylinder in it then use some light oil and the key to free up the tumblers. They can be fixed and reused.

Acetone is worth a shot, it'll probably have to soak for a good while to dissolve a bunch of dried superglue.

Acetone also eats some plastics, so beware.

Is supergluing the lock the opposite of breaking in?
