Default Saddlebag lock

Does anyone have any idea what I can do here. Bike is a 07 road king that's been converted to hard bags from a street glide by the previous owner. My problem is that while riding, one of the locks turned about half way so it's now half way locked with no way to get the key into place. Any idea how to fix this? I could buy a new lock but I want to keep the keys all the same as they are now. Any advice is appreciated

I was able to take mine off by using a flat screwdriver to turn the pins at the back of the bags. One closer to the rear was really easy and the front one easy once I took the seat off. This process was so easy that it made me re-think about what I leave in them. Best of luck

Sorry that's to get the bag off. Once I had it off I just picked the lock. I'm no locksmith but I had no issues
