Does the key bind, where you can't turn it all the way, or does it turn all the way, but not unlock?

You can pick up a little squeeze tube of powdered graphite at an auto parts or home center. You simply stick the tip into the lock, squeeze it a couple times, and then run the key in and out a bunch of times to distribute it.
