Door locks stuck

I stood outside my car this morning for 15 minutes trying to get in because my locks were stuck. The key would turn fine and it felt like it was unlocking but no dice. When I did get in I had no problems working the lock... until I got to work and locked the door. I heard a loud click and presto it was stuck again. Fortunately I was still in the car. I had to lock and unlock several times while playing with the handle to get it to release again. Haven't had this problem before, it did get much cooler last night here in New Orelans and I suspect that might have something to do with it. But I'm probably wrong. Anyone have this problem before?

Common problem. Roll down the window and spray the mechanism with your favorite spray lubricant. Do a search and you'll find quite a few threads.

Spray some WD-40 in the key holes and work the locks with the key, then some more spray, and work the locks...should help the issue.....
