ignition has been touchy for a long time, but now key goes in but ignition won't turn. After trying it many times there is a point that it will turn and the car will start. Turns off with no problem. Does this sound like just a problem with the tumblers or is there something else that could be causing the trouble. I am thinking of having a locksmith work on this. Any suggestions?

look at the key. does it look worn? does it work with no problems in the door? if it works in the door and doesn't work to well in the tumbler, then replace the tumbler. if you have trouble in the doors also then get a new key made.
