Clerk: Can I help you?
Man: Yes, I bought this briefcase last week, but there's something something with lock, I can't get it close properly.= in a satisfactory way, correctly
Clerk: Let me see, yes, I see what you mean, the lock seems to be jammed or something, I'll give you another one, sorry about that?


2. Does "loved ones" mean ones who you love? more context please
