My 1995 Honda Accord key won't unlock the door from the outside. Help?

[longfadedphotos]

It's weird but it seems the key isn't unlocking my driver's side door. It goes in but will not turn to unlock the door. (even the spare key doesn't work...) Eventually, after several tries, it unlocks but it's never done this before in the 10 years I've owned the car. Perhaps something is wrong inside the door? I do not have key-less entry seeing as how this is a car from 1995, I have to use the key to lock and unlock the door. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try getting some spray like wd-40 into the lock cylinder and letting it soak for a good 12 hrs then try the keys again.You may have to take the door panel off and spray the whole lock assembly and move the unlock-lock arm up and down rapidly , plus use the key too.Take note of the arm and linkage that connects up to the lock cylinder and the lock assembly this maybe the linkage and arm that is sticking so soak it several times and try to move the linkage manually several times too.


Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way since it's a 95 it probably has had moister/water get into the door panel and lock assembly so again soak it well.
