Door lock tumblers?

Yeah don't tell anyone but *sometimes* my door opens with any key. How much are new tumblers and how hard are they to install?

Autozone carries door locks for around $12-$15 (I believe) for the pair. Replacing the pins in your locks isn't exactly a DIY kind of job unless you have the tools.

You can get a set of new locks at most parts stores for cheap. It's not too hard too replace them. You just have to contort your arm in some weird ways.

Yes, its definatly not someting you do in your driveway. The tumblers usually come in a kit, along w/ other items you should replace like the tumbler cover, tumbler springs, and lock cover. Try some powered graphite first.
