need new door lock cylinders

[josh_ruppert]

The door locks on my 92 Explorer 4dr are froze up. I have went to the local salvage yards but no one has any. I stopped in at the ford dealer and they want $130 for the locks and ignition. I dont need a new ignition and I think $130 is a little more then I bargained for. I stopped at a parts store and they have them but their model years are for 93-95. I didnt think there was a difference between 92 and the 93-95. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

try spray graphite in the locks.Hold open the little door that covers it with a small scredriver and spray it untill it is running down the door.then turn the key back and fourth a bunch of times.You will be amazed how new your locks will feel

well at the moment the key will NOT turn at all and hasnt been able to turn for about a year. i have tried all sorts of lubricating oils but have never had any luck

I would not go the route of replacing.
Call a locksmith. He will hook you up.
