Sticky door locks ... anyone else?

Well .... I am not sure if my lock is loose on the inside (or if that is even possible), but my locks - both sides are odd. By odd, I mean they are difficult to turn and sometimes a realy beast. I have sprayed Sillicone in there and put graphite in too, no luck. Anyone ever take apart the door lock assy?

Cheers!

My driver's door has all kinds of problems. The key doesn't want to turn in the lock. The outside door handle doesn't always work on the first try. The lock tab keeps sticking mostly to the locked position, meaning it goes far enough to lock all the other doors, but the driver's door is still unlocked. Now I have to unlock the door with the key, even if it's already unlocked, before I get in or else the alarm will go off.

used to have a hard time turning the key in the driver side. royal purple maxfilm solved my sticky lock problem. also keeps the locks from freezing up when its frigid cold.
