Key

I have started to have an issue on one of my keys. I have to flip it to get it to unlock and turn.

I have read that spraying lithium grease helps.

I am afraid that one day the key will not work and I will be stranded.

Any tips?

Thanks.

graphite lube would be what you would use. but i dont think that will help too much. sounds like your key is wearing out or the tumblers in the lock are.

I'd get a new key cut. It'll be cheap since there is no chip
