It is possible the tumblers work OK, but the switch won't turn because there are broken parts between the key cylinder and the actual ignition switch. If this is the problem you will have to disassemble the steering column. You should be able to feel the difference between these two possible failure modes -- try rocking the cylinder between "ACC" and "ON". A tumbler problem won't allow much motion. Mechanical prob lems downstream will allow more.
