If you get some from a wrecker or J-Yard you can have a key mede by a locksmith for about 75 bucks. If yours are sticky or breaking keys, try getting some graphite from the local hardware store, usually in the door knob or key section. Squirt some into the lock and turn it with the key a few times and it will get much better.

DO NOT use both silicone spray and graphite. You would create a sandy cookie dough that would gum up everything. Use one or the other and stick with it.
I bet you've used both and are probably ok for the moment or maybe cannot notice a difference since the locks are messed up already. On a good set of locks that just need to be lubed it would not be a good idea.
