Simple question for ya all. I have a '73 teener and everytime I attempt to lock or unlock the doors with my key I feel like the damn thing will break off! Tried a silicone spray but they locks are still so stiff! Any advice?

Over the years locks can collect dirt from the wrong use of lubercants. Most locksmiths will tell you to use graphite only on a locks tumblers.

You might have to take them out and clean them to get the crud off for them to work right. I would use a light spray of lithium grease on any of the other parts (after cleaning). It will protect, lube and waterpruf the outside parts and use graphite on the tumblers only.
