The door key at the girlfriend’s house was not interested in entering the lock let alone turning. Went to Home Depot, picked up a small overpriced tube of graphite and lubed them up. Works like a brand new lock now.

Like, draw on the key and stick it in, or what?
Yeah, basically just rub it on whatever metal surface needs lubricating. Use the side of the point like you’re shading a drawing to cover more surface area quicker. It worked well on sticky door latches, but I could see the key and lock mechanism being more trouble to lubricate this way.
