I only got one highly worn out key from the PO. Took it to my locksmith and less than 5 seconds he popped out my lock, looked at it, went inside and cut a new key by hand. Works perfect, I had a bunch of copies made.

I had the same trouble, I took the lock cylinder out and clean it with brake cleaning stuff. Then I used that power grafite and it has worked great ever since.

Graphite powder is a dry lube for locks. Any kind of oil dirt will stick to and isn't good for a lock. There is a metal silver looking clip on your door jam that you pull out to release the lock cylinder.
