The door locks! boot up the door locks! (bad door locks)

Well I hope someone got my Jurasic Park reference.

My driver side door lock is so stiff it cant be opened with my key anymore so when I have to lock it at night the next morning I go in the passenger door
The passenger side is on the way to failure as well.

Neither side opens when using the electric lock button.

Toyota wants $300.00 for a new matched set of locks. (3 locks total, both doors and gas cap)

Does anyone know where to get some cheaper?

May be able to pull off your interior panels, and carefully apply some choice lube to everything that needs it. I know it helped mine, but mine ain't all high techy electronified, neither. Somewhere here, somebody mentioned using Ford door cylinders for durability and anti theft purposes. I don't know where that went, though.
