[W126 Coupe] key lock on drivers side

[Jeff Bouvier]

	I recently had this problem. I sprayed some WD-40 into the
lock and that helped a bit. I could lock the door but not unlock it. 
After doing some research online I found that WD-40 is the worse stuff
you can use. Get some graphite powder (automotive stores carry it) and
spray a little into the lock. Put your key in and out of the lock many
times and it should begin to work. Let us know if that works for you.
