Locking gas door
My lock is broken. You can hardly stick the key in and when you do you CAN NOT turn it. It was that way when I bought it. Is there anyway I can get a replacement? Do I have to use that key...or can I get a lock made for my key?
Thanks

Or just pull the lock.
On mine I've found that it works fine when I use it regularly, but when I dont use it for awhile it tends to get sticky, and I need to jiggle the key around to get it to unlock.

ya the stealer is a rip but sometimes the best place to go.
toyota 1 you and others could always add magnets to make it stay shut. I know it makes it easy for thieves but thats not a huge risk one would think

graphite is the way to go but I usually spray a rust eater type lube in mine. My rear gate lock is sticky since I don't use it much as is the passenger side lock on the front door.

maybe...it sounds like it is broken inside. I took a hammer and hammered the key in to get it in. I could kind of get it out but I had to use vice grips.
