    Put some dry graphite spray in the lock and do the wiggle and shake. If it worked before chances are its just sticky

    DO NOT USE GRAPHITE! Use PTFE spray.
    The graphite tends to gum up the works. PTFE, (teflon) is basically invisible and smooths everything.
    Most locksmiths sell it, or bolt and screw shops, maybe some hardware stores. The one I got is made by WD40 company under the Blue Works brand.
