One of the tumbler pins is stuck, get a paperclip and straighten it out and stick it in the keyhole so you can rake the pins, you should feel them spring back as the clip withdraws. Then take your hair dryer and heat the cylinder around the keyhole and rap the cylinder sharply with a smallish hammer and see if you can get the pin to extend. Then try the key. Any luck?
