A lock that has changed over time should not be treated as normal.
Signs of developing failure include:

These symptoms indicate that something is wearing or failing.
Key Needs to Be Jiggled
Many people adapt to a lock like this.
You learn the exact movement that makes it work.
But a key should not need a special routine every time.
Repeated jiggling can also increase wear on the key and cylinder.
More Force Is Needed Than Before
This is a serious warning.
A key is a relatively small piece of metal.
If the lock requires increasing force, the blade may eventually bend or snap.
Do not wait for that point.
Key Works in One Direction More Easily
You may find that the lock is easier to secure than unlock, or vice versa.
Uneven movement can indicate wear inside the cylinder or lock body.
A one-direction problem can eventually become complete failure.
Lock Works Only on the Second or Third Attempt
Intermittent operation is still a fault.
The fact that the lock eventually works does not make it reliable.
A residential entry lock should operate consistently.
What Happens if You Ignore the Warning Signs?
The eventual failure may leave the door:
Addressing the issue while some normal operation remains may avoid a more disruptive emergency.
Lock Has Now Failed Completely
If the door is already shut and the lock has stopped working, the immediate problem is access.
The locksmith can assess the mechanism, restore entry and determine what caused the gradual deterioration.
Broken Key After Months of Stiffness
A worn lock can place ongoing pressure on the key.
Eventually the blade may fail.
If a key breaks, extraction may be required.
The lock should then be inspected rather than simply used again with another key.
Can a Worn Lock Be Repaired?
Sometimes.
A specific component may be causing the problem.
If the surrounding hardware remains in good condition, repair can be appropriate.
The important question is whether the lock will operate reliably afterwards.
Cylinder Replacement
A worn cylinder can produce rough, inconsistent key movement.
Replacing that part may solve the problem where the remainder of the lock is sound.
The locksmith can assess whether cylinder replacement is enough.
Full Lock Replacement Denistone East
Replacement may be a better option where:
The existing mechanism should be assessed before deciding.
Door Will Not Lock
A deteriorating lock can fail in the unlocked position.
You may still open the door but be unable to secure it.
That is an urgent security issue.
The locksmith can assess repair or replacement.
Lost or Stolen Keys
A worn lock may also need a change in keying if keys have been lost or stolen.
Where the hardware is mechanically sound enough, rekeying may be considered.
Where wear is already severe, replacement may be more practical.
