Might this key work?

right while trying to turn the key, but no luck.
And the pencil trick. Do I literally draw on the key
with the pencil?, what does that do?
Thanks

yep, use the pencil to crayon every nook and crannies of the key, insert in tumbler in and out quickly a few times. Crayon key again, insert. Do that 20 times. This will disperse the graphite into the tumbler to lubricate the guts without gumming it up.
Pencil your door locks too if you don't want them to get jammed.
