I am having a heck of time getting my 73' door keyed lock installed correctly. I cannot get the key out when it is locked and tried rotating the barrel in millimeter increments and still can't get the key out. There has to be a trick I am missing. Instructions say to rotate the barrel a quarter turn if the key doesn't come out when locked. Tried that. I tried it with the key inserted and with the key out (put back in to lock). Anyone have any suggestions? It is a OEM Toyota lock.

Remove the inner door handle, turn the locking latch, and reinstall the inner handle. The orientation of the square peg needs to be changed to the square hole. It'll take a little trial and error, but that's the solution.
The only other thought is some powdered graphite if the lock is sticky.

I have never had a working door lock. Used a knife to lock it and unlock it. I didn't realize the key didn't turn 180 degrees to lock so the key wouldn't come out with half a turn. Realized
It is a 1/4 to lock it and back up again to remove key. Thanks for suggestion.
