The holes in the front doors have notches cut in them for the tabs on the lock cylinder to fit into. That is what keeps them from turning when you turn the key to unlock the door. Maybe the hole in the 3rd door doesn't have the notches and the cylinder turned in the hole.

I'm sure I have a cylinder that your ignition key will fit into and if you send me a key I can re-key it to match your doors and ignition. I would run about $15 for the lock and re-keying it.
