In most cases, a new correctly cut key (NOT a duplicate of one of yur other keys) will solve that problem.  It may also require cleaning and lubrication.  This is a common occurrence with keys that are 5-10 ngenerations old, combined with crusty locks.  We can handle the key and cleaning/lubricationg or you can do the cleaning yourself.  Do NOT use WD40 or graphite.
