Hey wassup.. my drivers side door lock is really sticky? when i try to open it with the key.. its really hard to turn it... i dont know whats wrong??? and plus i dont have keyless entry either.. so its a real pain.. also i have no power lock~ can anyone help me out!?!?!
thanks

 

Spray graphite powder into the lock.

 

I would take your door trim panel off, and check your lock. Once you locate the backside of the lock cylinder, pop off the lock rod and turn the lock with your key. If the lock is still tough to turn, it's something in your lock cylinder, not your door latch. I would then remove the lock from your door handle, and inspect.

 

Is it the factory key or is it a copy

 

its a factory key~ and where do i get graphite powder???

thanks

 

any local parts store will have it...it's hecka cheap. and or there are some spray's that you can use..kinda like de-icer. they're like a WD-40 for your locks. i used those a couple times and they work pretty good, but don't last as long as the graphite. both are like under 10 bucks.

 

go with graphite powder... its sortta messy but you can use it for almost anything

The graphite is best for lock lubrication. Oil based lubes tend to collect dust, etc. You can purchase graphite in the key cutting area of a hardware store or in an auto parts.
