I ended up using a paper clip with about a 1mm bend at the end to hook some of the debris that had collected inside the lock. Gently, of course. And with the brake cleaner and lock lube. I got the lock working pretty well. Just washing it out didn't do it. Had to hook the crap left inside. I did this with the lock removed so as to be able to use gravity to assist and I was able to use compressed air to clean it too.
