I wonder why the key won't work in the door? Is it an original key?

Thanks ZeRacer , I told him to lube the lock the tumblers may be froze up from lack of use. Haven't heard back yet if it worked

The door key lock was froze up, a little penetrating oil broke it loose . Thanks to all for the advice . It may be a good preventative to keep locks lubed with a good lock graphite

Every summer, with the major cleaning, I squirt silicone spray into all locks as well as any hinges that I can reach. When I remove the rims for cleaning, I douse all the rubber mounts I can find to keep them pliable and reduce potential squeaking. Glad you found a way in. I once got locked out of my convertible with the top down.
