Default Door locks are stiff

My recently purchased '99 626 has door locks that are stiff, and when it gets cold, it becomes very difficult to unlock the door.
Has anybody else had this problem? Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue?
Thanks for the advice!

If you mean that it is hard to unlock with the key, use some WD-40 with the supplied "straw" from the can and squirt a bit into where the key goes. This is a common problem with all makes and models, the grease in the lock cylinder gets old and hardens when it gets cold and makes it hard to unlock.
