Key door lock will not lock
I have a 1958 ford ranchero that im restoring. Bought new key locks for doors and new lock pawls. Problem is the key will unlock door but it won't lock it. Any ideas? I don't see anything in manual.

Squirt some WD-40 or lock lubricant into the lock.

Does the key turn the cylinder both ways without being connected to the latch? Does the latch lock/unlock easily without the actuating rod being connected to the cylinder? Those rods do have an adjustment.
