If you are not replacing the lock, do not use WD40 or wet lubes. Use
graphite.

I might try taking a can of WD-40 and spraying into the keyhole.

Hey peeps,

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting the doorknob to turn, on the far (north?) track locker container at Alpenrose? I went out today to pick up my rollers, and my key broke off inside the doorknob. I couldn't get the key to unlock and turn the handle, as it seems more jammed than usual. Luckily I got the broken-off key out with tweezers... So I'm curious if anyone had any suggestions as to how to get it to unlock, once I get a new key made?
