Door locks and Ignition

[lukedukem]

i never really had to lock my doors on my car because i keep it in my shop locked up. i never leave it unatended either. but i went to lock the doors and when i closed them the locks poped back up... when i put the key in the door to try to manuall lock it its a PITA to turn it and the passenger is the same. if i lock it from the inside then use the key i can lock the car up. but is the popping up normal. i know the hard to turn isn't... plus my ignition is tricky to get to turn also... sometimes it turns then it won't. what do you gusy think. should i put in a new set along with an ignition. its all original locks and ignition and the keys... IDK... thoughts

You have to hold the doorhandle button in when you close the door.  It is supposed to make it more difficult to lock your keys in the car. A liberal application of graphite powder should work wonders on those tumblers.
