2001 Nissan Micra Manual 61000 miles

Hi there,

My driver side door lock has recently stopped working, i cannot open it from the outside with the car key, and while locking the door, i am forcing the key to turn, for the door to lock. I am currently opening the driver door from the inside. Hence the door lock is easily opended from the inside and not outisde. My question, do i need to replace the lock, if so do all the lock on the doors need to be replaced, and if so how can i do this myself? and where would i be able to get the parts. The car is only a 3-door, and does not have central locking nor remote locking. It's a simple manual lock, opened by the key only.
