You should be able to clean out the tumblers with a solvent although I'm not sure what's the best one to use. Just make sure you do NOT oil it after you're done. Buy some graphite from a locksmith shop and coat all the pins before you reassemble things. Oil is bad news in locks. It attracts and holds dirt from the key and will jam things up again.
