Lock mechanism won't turn

I’ve got a Craftsman 6 Drawer Side Cabinet that’s probably about 10 years old. It’s model number 706.813360. The lock mechanism has gotten progressively tougher to turn and has finally stopped turning entirely. I was able to remove just the lock itself, but now don’t know if it’s possible to disassemble further, and I couldn’t immediately find a replacement lock mechanism online. Any ideas or suggestions?

I called Sears and while they answered the phone, they say it’s obsolete and they no longer stock parts for this product.

Please spray some graphite in the key way and insert key. Wiggle key until it operates smoothly. I also use WD 40 if I don't have graphite.
