'51 door lock tumbler

I cannot push the plastic door lock knob down to lock the doors on my Hornet. I finally found the key that fits the lock keyhole on the outside of the door but when I turn it, the whole tumbler comes out of the housing with the key still in it. Anyone know a fix or ran into this problem before?

    I work on Hudson ignition and door locks and keys. Maybe I can help. It's possible the inside locking mechanism needs attention.

    Thanks Lance, I'll have to pull the door panels off and check it out. Both doors are doing the same thing and the last time I was inside those doors was when they were off for painting. I have the panels off on my '50 and those are probably the same as the '51 so I can compare the two to see what's not working ( the '50's work fine). If I need anything I'll send you a message.

    OK Terry sounds good. BTW if you need keys cut to code let me know I can do that too. :)
