RE: [Peugeot-L] 505 lock sticking

Thanks Dan,

What you say makes sense. I will report how it looks and how the repair went. Is removing the cylinder that involved?

If I have this right, the problem is in the lock cylinder itself. If so, in
my case I took the lock cylinder apart and found 25 years worth of grime
(usually very fine dust mixed with lock lube) inside. Being careful to

observe which order the gates are inserted in the lock tumbler, carefully
clean the whole outfit with WD 40 and then reassemble. The difference for
me was remarkable and the door locks continued to work flawlessly for years
afterwards. If you do not attend to this you will be faced with a broken
key or mangled lock.
