To effectively use WD40 to fix a stubborn lock, spray a small amount of WD40 into the keyhole and on the key itself. Insert the key into the lock and turn it back and forth a few times to distribute the lubricant. Repeat as needed until the lock operates smoothly.

I will assume you mean it will not latch. If the lock hasn't been damaged it's probably just dry. Spray the latch where you can see it in the edge of the door with a spray lubricant such as WD40.

How can you fix a stiff car door lock?

It depends on what the indicators are. Usually lubricating the lock with spray lubricant like Triflow or WD40 work. Never use graphite in locks as it tends to get clogged in the springs. If the lock is difficult to turn after this, then there might be a linkage problem which would require removing the door panel and finding the bind or other issue.

Things to check, is the release all the way in? Lubricate the lock, WD40 or similar. Adjust the lock up if needed. After you lubricate the lock mechanism, cycle the hood release cable a few times, so that the lubricant penetrates. Continue to lubricate the mechanism at least once every few months to prevent future sticking of the cable.
