Citroen Berlingo not able to unlock petrol cap, key will only go half in. now also can't unlock doors with keys.

Car: Citroen Berlingo
Variant: 1.8
Model Year: 2014

The electronic key works opening doors but petrol cap is manual. Key will not work in petrol cap will only insert part of way & not turn. This is also the case now with all the door locks except driver's door that opens occasionally!!
This happened about 3 years ago & all locks were replaced including petrol cap, it has now happened again! Surely keys / locks should work for more than a few years. Is replacing all the locks again the only option?

Try soaking the key barrel with WD 40 using the tube and working the key in / out . It is a common fault , see here

Thanks for the response & I have tried the WD40 option with no luck! The key just wont go more than half way in the locks. (the petrol cap works ok when the key goes in!)
