Just kidding. Mine seized up in Walmart lot yesterday. Went in and brought an electric battery toothbrush. Vibrated the lockset several times and got the key to work. Got car home and took out lock, awaiting new tumbler. Just a possible fix for those in need.

... great idea!

everybody has heard of the sander vibration method... but it's rare to be near one when the key won't turn... battery toothbrush... cool... did you take off the head and just stick in the stick, or use the entire toothbrush, bristles and all?
