You can buy an extraction key to take the barrels out, that way you can find out if they are corroded or worn out. there is a number on the side of them so you can get replacements with the same code so you can still use the same key.

Try squirting a small amount of WD40 on the key and then using  it to operates the lock a few times - which should free things up.  Repeat for the other locks.

I use WD40 regularly when the locks start to get a bit stiff. I use the small pipe usually supplied insert into key hole and give them a good wash out to remove road grime

There is a good deal of on-line advice about lubricating vehicle door locks

and this YouTube video-clip compares 10 different products

 

 

I’m not a fan of tradional multi-use WD-40 for lubricating door locks as - although it will be effective - it’s mucky stuff. I prefer to use another WD-40 product as described/advertised here
