If Lock Tubler is not turning it may be the Tumbler itself causing the problem (You need to be able to turn the Tumbler so that it can be removed); meaning a new key may not help.
From what I have read raplacing a non-turning Lock Tumbler is tedious and time consuming.
To this end you need to find another ride to work or use of some vacation time.

I have read on more than one post that the Aftermarket Lock Tumbles do not last long. One poster said his laster 1-1/2 years.
