My drivers door lock will not turn to un-lock. locking is fine and all other locks work normally. does anyone know of a fix rather than having to replace all locks..

Thank you.

did it just stop working or did it go out slowly?? is the key wearing down?? try a little WD40 just a shot.the waffers in the lock are brass. they can get a little out of wack. you said the key works good in the other door? and if so then it sounds like a key problem. the drivers door wears out first because you use it more then the others.

good luck,
david

Thank u for reply.

It did happen slowly. I'm not sure if it's the key as spare key is just as bad. Maybe there both going?

I tried a bit of WD40 which seemed to make a difference at first but diddn't last. I will try again though.

it sounds like you have a bad lock. if that key works in the other door, then your lock is OLD. might be time to replace it.
