central locking + trunk locking issues

[pelotudo]

first off my key is really worn creating a dicey situation when locking/unlocking the door. going to get a new key tomorrow as it takes multiple tries to get the doors to lock/unlock.

when i use the drivers door though i can get it to turn all the way to the right and lock the car. the passenger side though makes a loud noise during and for a couple seconds after it locks, almost sounds like a small jackhammer on meth. is this the locking mechanism going bad or do i need to lube something?

also the trunk i cannot seem to get to lock for some reason. the lock is normally positioned horizontally. i am able to insert the key and turn it counterclockwise to get it in the vertical position, but i cannot remove the key for some reason. is this also because of the worn key or am i doing someting wrong?

cool thanks.

it seems to have kind of worked itself out after i got a new key made and have been using it over the last couple of days. the old key was quite worn and not really agreeing with the lock too well.

the passenger side is still quite stiff so im going to be taking some pb/white lith to it later this week.
