Just what I was going to say; soap or wax or WD40.
Bees Wax. You can buy it in tubes. Keep it in a desk drawer and use as needed. Rolltop desks are notorious for sticking periodically.
I inherited my Father's antique rolltop desk and it needed some dust removed from the rolltop to make it open smoothly. I vacuumned the rolltop while closed along every movable part and moved the rolltop up and vacuumed the channels it moved in as much as possible. I also used furniture lemon oil on the channels and rolltop too. It worked for me.
Rub a bar of soap or a candle inside the grove that the slats roll up & down in then open & shut the desk 5 or 10 times.
I've tried wax and wd40. Wax worked the best, but it still sticks. Has anyone tried coconut oil??
i can not get my top to go back up on my roll top desk.their is nothing to unlock.
