depending on whats wrong, its sometimes easiest to buy all new locks, and you can install them yourself with some knowhow.

As for the passengers side, sounds like you need to replace the tumblers.

i had somewhat of a similar problem where my key wouldnt turn in the lock...just spray some wd40 in there, and try using the key with a little force. It should eventually free everything up in there. Hope it helps!

I guess I should have said call a locksmith and get a quote on a price. Doesn't hurt to ask now does it? Why not explore all of your options before jumping into it?
