If you have an emergency after normal hours it is best to phone the technician on call. We will respond to emails on the next business day.
If you try to turn the key WITH THE DOOR OPEN and it is still hard to turn then try spraying some lubricant like WD-40 on the bolt when it is extended and also into the key hole. Turn the key in the lock a few times to spread the lubricant and see if that helps.
Did this key EVER work this lock well?
If it turns easily with the door open then perhaps one of the hinge screws is loose and the door is sagging. Try tightening the hinge screws.
If that does not work, have you installed weather stripping that might have changed the position of the lock to the lock strike plate causing it to rub? This can be handled by a strike adjustment, sometimes we must grind the strike a bit to accommodate the new position.
Simplest solution is that the lock needs lubrication.
We recommend the FTC's guide on hiring a reputable locksmith.
