Show a pic of the key in question.
If it has deep cuts in the middle, that
could be the problem.
I looked for an S197 stang with no deep cuts
on the key when purchasing to much
surprise to the salesman...
I also do this when purchasing any lock
when there is a selection of them.
The lock cylinder might need to be replaced...
Powdered Graphite can sometimes free up
a sticky lock mechanism.
