This guy knows what he's talking about. They will fail you in the lock position, my key was going bad for a while then froze itself into the tumbler, i was lucky enough to get one last turn after some fiddling and the tumbler popped right out. If i remember right the procedure for a locked up key is MUCH MORE of a pain in the rear.
