But... somehow I got time to try all the things LockDoc suggested. No change. It did make everything it was doing easier but what I did notice, the cylinders only turn to the right so even if I took them out and switch sides it wouldn't change anything either.
Take one of the locks out and see if it will turn in both directions. Then reach in and see if you can work the lock mechanism by hand. There is a tumbler cover on the inside of the locks that sometimes comes loose and keeps the lock from turning in one or both directions.
