Coincidentally my water fill door lock also seized up. Penetrating oil didn’t work. In desperation I used a pair of vice grips to turn the whole thing far enough to open the door and fill the water tank. Wonder of wonders, no damage to lock or door. I pulled the clip to dismount the lock, soaked it overnight in CLR, then applied lots of penetrating oil and left it all day in an air tight plastic container. I had to use some brute force to turn it by the arm/catch with the key in. Now it seems to open easily with the key, so I mounted it on the door again.
I would like to buy half a dozen of them for the cargo doors as well. They seem to have a limited lifetime.
