2001 door lock cylinders

When I bought this truck early summer the key worked fine in both door locks. Now that it's getting colder it is a lot of effort to get them to work properly.
Watched some youtubes and it sounds like one or more of the cylinder pins are too high, guess it has something to do with the temp change and lots of wear on the keys?
Any thoughts or experience on it?
Will be removing the driver cylinder soon to inspect.

Did you spray some WD-40 into the cylinders yet?

No, that stuff is not a lubricant. I used PTFE dry lube spray. It helped a little but still not good.
