one of my family has got a problem with her door lock its very stiff near to the point of snaping the plastic of the key if you try and turn it
i tryed a pencil rubbing putting in and out nothing so had to go to an oil gt80 lots put key in and its done a bit but but still still stiff
any ideas ? or is it a new lock time
my own thoughts was keep treating wth oil and see if helps but i think ive had this before 8 years ago a mates ford i had to remove the lock and he had to take down to ford to fit all new pins and rebuild the lock
would taking out the lock/barrel and sonic clean it help ?
are the after market locks any good bit of a pain to have 2 keys but its an old car so not worth spending plenty on a same key in having it rebuilt ?
