Default Vague door locks.

Hi, my 74 has iffy door locks, don’t always unlock first time, need to move the key left to right a few times. Passenger door lock is really stiff to turn, frightened id break the key if I try harder. Are they easy to adjust? Drivers lock is loose in the door as well.

Thanks, Tim.

I'd be tempted to say they are gunked up as lots of people seem to have found.
They aren't too bad to remove and clean but it does mean getting into the door and pulling the latch mechanism
there are several threads on soaking them in various cleaners to remove decades worth of dried grease and filth. I used gas

Thanks, think I’ll give this a try at the weekend. Getting there with the last few jobs to make perfect.
