My driver’s door has this problem where you can lock it or turn it with the key to the right fine but it does not want to come back to the left clean all the time. The keys work in all the locks and are in good shape. I have tried two different sets the red one and the black. A new set and an original set from the car.
I was on the phone with Eric Shea for something different and he thought because it was sticking to spray brake cleaner in the key slot. I did put the red nosel in deep and gave the lock a lot of cleaning. I know I did a good job as there was a bit of black grease that came out. I did this 3 times. It stills will not work like the right door. I have to turn it to the right then left a few times to get it to unlock. It seems to lock fine but does not want to unlock at this tumbler. Do you think if I take an extra tumbler from a different lock to a locksmith to match to my key this will work as my pins may be warn or the lock may be screwed. Any ideas.
