Hey, Since a while my driver door key was a bit hard to enter but I managed to unlock my door anyway.

But now, I can't fit the key at all! It's almost as is if was not the right key(it is the right one).

If I try too hard, it still wont unlock and the entire handle part seems to come towards me...

I tried shootin' WD-40 in the key hole, but it doesn't seems to do anything.

And no, before you ask, I don't have a remote...

I have to open the passenger door and stretch to unlock by the inside. First world problem, I know, but still.

Help please!

 

Well it sounds like your door lock cylindar is the problem. It looks like the part runs about $100 here in the states. If you get that replaced it will come with a key that works in that lock only. Dealers can re-key the cylindar to one of your original keys though, not sure on the cost.

 

Well that is a pretty expensive part...Wouldn't I be better off with a remote unlocker. That could not cost me more that $100...maybe i'll look around at some junkyard.

Thanks!

 

take door panel outt and grease it lol or see what broke

 

Salut ŕ toi, confrčre du Québec!

I've fixed many stuck locks with a product intended for guitars called graphitall. It is basically a graphite paste for lubricating friction points

You can also just file down a lead pencil and collect the filings in a piece of paper. Use the lead filings to thoroughly lubricate the teeth of the key then make sweet key love to the lock; good 'ole in out, in out.

Unfortunately, WD-40 might not have been the best idea since I believe dirt can stick to WD-40. The graphite/pencil solution should work to free up stuck tumblers that are preventing you from inserting your key.

Bonne chance!

 

Just stumbled upon a graphite aerosol spray that is specially designed for locks. It's called lock-ease:

Salut les gars! hi guys!

It doesnt matter if we have regular Fits or not. 3 of them in a row with Quebec plates? lets do it! Oh and there's a girl in the West Island too!

I'm down, just wait 'till I get my Fit first :P . I'm contacting a buyer this week and will probably arrange to pick it up on friday. I'll keep you posted!

 

Wow merci!

Fak tu es rendu un acadien, asteur?!

The product you mention uses teflon. It might work but the the product I recommend uses graphite/ceramic. Try calling a locksmith and asking them. It sounds to me like the tumblers in your lock are jammed. That happened to my front door lock and it got to where I had to punch the key with to get it in. I did the graphite paste trick and the lock works to perfection for over a year now.

In quebec we have Rona. I don't know if you have that in NB but I would start there (or a similar hardware store) and look for a similar product. Rona sells many locks and they cut keys so I'm they probably carry a specialized graphite based lubricant.

Or you can do the lead pencil trick I mentioned earlier! Put the lead on your spare key and sex it with your lock, it'll probably do the trick. The advantage with a graphite paste is that they put it in a solution that evaporates and leaves just the graphite (which is a solid) behind so it wont gunk up your lock like an oil based lubricant like WD-40.

 

Use Lock-ease. (Notice the spelling correction) It is available at most hardware stores. We also use it to prevent freezing locks in the winter time.
