Push latches will not unlock

I have a 2009 Hunter 36 with push locks on the lockers. One latch is "frozen?" closed. I have jiggled, twisted, hammered, and tried to remove the hinges. It is the locker under the nav table. Before I drill holes in my cabinetry, I am wondering if anyone might have some insights.
Thank you in advance.

Take pictures of the latch; and the cabinet/drawer/door condition.

If there is a button use the red straw to focus the spray and spray it with a quick shot (fractions of a second) using McLube Sailkote dry lubricant. Then try working it again.
If it’s a blind catch (no button) try leaning on it firmly then pull away FAST.

You could try heating and bending the end of a narrow putty knife so it has an edge you can insert in the crack and pull out.
