Door lock problem

[Brian L]

My door locks are "sticky" for lack of a better word; the passenger side was tough to open with the key when I bought it (used) and quit opening soon after, though it opens fine from inside. The driver side requires fiddling the key side to side a bit before opening. Is there a surefire do it yourself fix for this or should I see a locksmith?

Try spraying WD4o in the latch and see if it helps.

^^ WD usually frees up the cylinders...or you can try going to a jy and getting new locks...they aren't that hard to change...

When spraying the WD use the small red nozzle that usually comes with the can...it can get right into the lock and lubricate...

Others on here have recommended graphite that can be bought locally for about the same price as WD...I've only used that once on someone else's locks and it seemed to work fine...

How worn are the keys?
