I WD40'd the door locks on one of the kids cars in desperation as was getting hard to unlock, costs me 2 new lock barrels!
It blew out all the remaining OEM lube and made the issue 10x worse.....
That reminds me, even when you have central locking/plipper on a car it's a good idea, occasionally, to use the actual key in the lock(s). The remote system on my old Volvo failed so the plippers didn't work. Tried to use the key...and the barrels on the driver's door and tailgate were jammed solid. (Fortunately it failed when I tried to lock the car rather than when I tried to open it so I could still get in and use it but couldn't lock it. Somewhere in the process of trying to ease the locks I managed to lock the driver's door then couldn't get in again through that door ).
Doubt is not a pleasant condition.
But certainty is an absurd one.
