Never! It gums up the tumblers.

Can you get the other door open? If so, unlock the sticky one from inside & remove the handle. Dissassemble & clean & lube. You can find the How-to in my sig.

Mine used to do this. It was the latch, not the tumbler. I had to disassemble, remove, soak, and clean the latch mechanism (right behind the door handle) to free it up.
