Question Door key/lock problem

Just recently i'm having problems unlocking my passenger door lock when using the key.After inserting the key it does not want to turn unless I first pull on the door handle.I have lubed the door mechanism which closes to the pillar striker and have used graphite in the lock cylinder.Anyone else have this problem?

try a different key

don't know why, but I had an old F-150 do the same thing. problem only existed on one key, but never did it with the other key.

took the good key and got a good copy made, then the problem never came back.




hope it's that easy
