Need assistance with my passenger door before I tear into the door.

Able to lock/unlock from the inside and outside with the key
Interior and exterior door release handles operate

However, when locking with the key, it rotates only about 10 degrees, then stops. I should be satisfied, but I fear it might get worse.

Is this an issue with the key tumbler or with the exterior door handle mechanism?

Thanks

my immediate call would be to clean the catching mechanism they get dirty and disallow the key from turning far enough to unlock or lock the door. Eventually the end of the lock cylinder breaks off from too much force exerted. Read all about it in the 914 "Tech Tips 700"
