Default Driver Door won't lock or unlock with key

Has any one run into this problem before. I don't have power locks so i use the key quite often to unlock the driver door and yesturday after a rain storn i went to unlock my door and they key went in not all the way at first but then i wiggled it in and then in wouldn't turn. I finally got in from the passenger door unlocked the driver door and then tryed to lock it with the key with the same problem went all the way in but did not turn. Has anyone had this problem before? Should it be covered under warranty?

No. I haven't had this problem on my JK.

Yes, this should be covered under warranty.

He's got manual door locks.... sounds like a tumbler issue or maybe one of the rods inside the door has malfunctioned.

Yes I did have this problem! the dealer replaced the locks but I see it happening again. the only sugestion the dealer had was to keep it oiled.
I thought my locks froze last winter and that may have been what has caused it. Either way the dealer did replace them (both doors)
