I don't think it supposed to be like that. I tried wd40 nothing, I don't know what else to do.

If the lock is stuck in one position, then we need to most likely replace the cylinder. You may be able to loosen it with WD40 but if you tried that and it didn't work then we need to replace it.

Is the key stuck in the door or are you able to remove it?

I am attaching the info below from the manual on how to replace this so let's run through this and let me know if I am not understanding correctly.

Thanks
