Lock jammed by WD-40

[killer7717]

So last night i was cleaning rust from my car using WD-40 .and i put some of it in the ignition switch and door locks after a few hours when i came to check they were totally jammed so much that it feels like the key doesn't even go all the way in , Does anyone have a solution to this problem and what should i do

Any help will be appreciated

The car is Suzuki Cultus 2012model

Someone naughty must have poured elfy in it​

Wd40 is never put into lock cylinders for this reason,

It will flushed/moved the tumbler pin lubricant and jammed them.

Now spray all the locks with throtle body cleaner.

To add to the above, locks are best lubricated with graphite lubricant:
