Update, after looking everything over we didn't see any problems so we decided to give it a firm push to the left and it did lock. I rode the bike to my friends house and everything felt fine. Thank you everyone for your comments.

If someone wants your bike bad enough, there is very little that will stop them. The way I see it is, anything that slows them down is a good thing and will increase the chances of your bike still being there when you get back. If they steal your bike with the forks locked they sure as hell would have taken it if they were unlocked.
The barrel locks on our bikes are not that hard to defeat/pick. Amazon and/or ebay sell the tools and youtube has plenty of how to videos.

When you try to unlock it without putting pressure on the bars to the left it binds the locking pin and damages the lock.
I'm switching this one because of that reason. there's a small pin in the lock mechanism that raises the locking pin and it's easily broken.
