I remember that my door locks did not work prior to my resto. Then I cleaned all of the gunk off the parts and they worked fine. That was good for eighteen years but now they are stuck again. I have tried WD-40 in the tumblers which appear to be free, at least for about 1/6th of a turn. So I assume I have grease turned to gunk causing the internal actuating rods to be stuck somewhere.
Does anyone know the precise point where this problem may lie? I would rather not have to disassemble and remove my entire door latch locking system and was hoping someone might know here to target the WD-40 inside the door. I guess I could just spray the rear of the tumbler and the door latch area and hope that frees it up?
