Update, i was tired of fiddling so decided to dig deeper and i removed the "button" that wasn't functioning. Turns out it looks to me as though at some point the tumbler was removed and replaced with a black plastic cap to cover the hole. Once i realized the tumbler was removed i knew the bin was locked and wouldnt just open so i yanked it open.
Surprisingly nothing was broken, i removed the pin on the lid that the locking mechanism clips over and now i have a functioning storage bin that doesn't lock and requires no button push at all. i guess that is just how it will have to be!
