87 Land Cruiser has manual locks on doors. Key won't open them any more even with graphite. My keys work ignition but look worn off. Try for new keys from Toyota or magic lock fluid?

1. Start with key out of ignition, drivers door is open all others closed and
drivers door is unlocked. 2. Insert key into the ignition (Do NOT Turn) and Pull key out. 3. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
A. Using the power lock switch on the drivers door, perform 5 lock/unlock cycles
starting with lock. Use an even pace and try to go about one cycle per second.
(1Cycle = 1 lock and 1 unlock).
B. Close, then open drivers door. 4. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
A. Using the power lock switch on the drivers door, perform 5 lock/unlock cycles

B. Insert the key in the ignition cylinder.
C. Turn the ignition to ON (Do NOT Start) then back to OFF.
D. Remove the key from the ignition. 5. Within 3 seconds the power door locks should cycle automatically indicating successful
entry into programming mode. Return to step 1 if the locks do not cycle at this point. 6. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
A. Press the lock and unlock buttons on the remote simultaneously for 1 second.
B. Immediately after letting go of the lock and unlock buttons, press the lock button by
itself and hold for 2 seconds. Within 3 seconds, the door locks should cycle once
indicating successful programming. If the door locks do not cycle, or cycle twice.
repeat steps A and B in step 6 as your remote has not been accepted.
C. Repeat steps A and B in step 6 for each new remote. 7. Close drivers door.
Probably the key. The ignition and drivers door get the most use and become more worn. Sometimes this allows keys to work that aren't quite cut exactly like the original. You could try lubricating the other locks with some powdered graphite and that might help. Or if you have more that one key, you could take a small round file and take just a tiny bit of all the small peaks and valleys of the cuts on both side of the key. Do that only if you have another working key so you won't be left without one. Good luck.

Yes, I would lean toward a stuck drivers door latch. Your door open switch is located in the latch itself and the ding is a reminder your key is in the ignition so you don't lock them in the vehicle when you lock the door. even though your door is shut, the truck still thinks it is open. sometimes spraying the latch with some WD-40 will get it freed up and working again, but a new latch might be in your future.
This is a security problem, try using the key to unlock the pass/side door and see if it does this if it doesnt then the switch on the lock on the driver door is bad, the switch is to shut down the alarm.

Add graphite to key several times while inserting back and
forth many times. You can purchase small tubes of powered graphite at your
local auto parts store. Apply the graphite onto the key as you don't want to
make a mess on your car components. This will loosen up the tumblers in the
lock.
If that doesn't work then your key lock to door strike component extension rod
maybe have come loose or is bent not allowing the striker to turn enough to
allow the door to open. That will need to be accessed by removing the door
panel. Careful, you can endanger the fasteners that hold the panel on as a special
door panel removal tool is often needed to remove those and you could destroy
your door panel rendering it useless or made ugly. Most of these simple tools
are inexpensive at your auto parts store. Ask them to show you how to operate
them or a body shop.
Also oil up the striker in your door, as it might be bone
dry of lubrication causing it to stick. Don’t be bashful lay the oil to it. If
it runs down wipe it off. It normally won’t hurt if it runs down inside the
door either, as the door has drains at the bottom.
Try putting a little graphite lock lube in the lock to see if it is just stuck first. Does your key work on the other locks? Do you have a spare key that you haven't tried? If you need to pull the lock, use a trim removal tool to pull the door panel off, starting at the bottom removing the clips on the outer edge of the panel. Unscrew the fasteners holding the armrest on and be careful of the door handle to avoid bending the linkages. Door locks don't fail too often.
This is normal if I'm reading this right. The door locks are supposed to pop up when you turn off the key when in "child proof" mode. The reading lamp is wired to prevent low battery conditions by only operating when the engine is running. Did you just get the car?
