Key doesn't go into door lock

The key goes about halfway into the door lock and stops like it's hit something. I do not have a key fob to unlock it, it didn't come with one when I bought it used 5 months ago. It has never had a problem unlocking before, I have tried both keys and neither goes in. I locked the door by pressing the door lock not using the key, and shut it as usual last night with nothing being different.

Open the other door to get in.
spray some WD-40 to loosen lock.
if key won't go in there might be something jammed in lock.
I might try a tiny drill to see what is in there.
drill size of .0040 or smaller.

Alarm goes off with ignition on. Dash lights work so there is power but nothing at the starter motor

Sounds like the security system is armed. It is designed to disable the starter. If you don't have a key fob for the alarm, try locking and un-locking the driver's door with the key to disarm. If that doesn't work, look for a very small black button or toggle switch that will either be taped to wiring under the driver's side or the dash, or mounted to the very bottom of the dash above the driver's legs.

My key fob for my 2006 LaCrosse unlocks the doors & opens the trunk, but doesn't lock the doors. Can it be cleaned, or does it need to be replaced?

It is not clear whether the problem is with the fob or the receiver in the car. You could try replacing the fob (they are available online from various sites) but the receiver will need to be programmed to use it, and that usually requires a trip to a dealership (unless you have access to the OEM service manual). Your best bet is to take it to a dealership and have them diagnose and repair the problem.

Key Fob won't lock door.

Most likely is not a blown fuse because it is trying to work. Try to find the antenna instead as it maybe block from the signal. You did not say what year is the car.

MY KEY DO NOT LOCK DOORS AND SET ALARM

I would try disconnecting the battery for five minutes like resetting a computer. Replace the battery in key fob. Body computer does strange things with lights hope it doesn't need to be replaced about 350 dollars if you have it replaced and any thing else doesn't work after they replace it tell them. I had two of them replaced for me because they are rebuilt

Neither the key fob or unlock button on d/s door will unlock the lift gate (2003), what should be looked at?

{: ) You didn't mention what vehicle you have, but anyway, for 2003 models, it is most likely a faulty liftgate actuator.
