Sometimes (even if) you've got the right key, you might be using it in a
lock that's never been touched by a key, due to internal release /
remote key fob. I use an aerosol spray called LockEase in all my locks,
including the ignition a few times a year. . It contains graphite, in a
solvent, and will flush out road salt and grime. Wipe your keys after
giving the lock a good 'massage' with the key, after spraying locks.
It's messy, but it works like nothing else I've tried. I'm not a
locksmith, but I believe I got it at a locksmith.
