Outside Bin Lock Won't Turn

Hopefully this is a quick fix and doesn't require a locksmith.

One of my outside bin locks is currently stuck. It will not turn at all regardless of "jiggling" or putting key in either direction.

I've already sheared one key when I first tried opening it. I don't want to shear my second and only other key without attempting some sort of maintenance fix.

Our RV is pretty much brand new (2018 Thor ACE). I did not notice any sort of rusting or other mechanism that could be jamming the lock when I locked it this weekend.

Any thoughts or ideas? I'm thinking of spraying in some WD40 into the lock itself to see if that frees anything up. But I'm willing to look for any type of help.

Many thanks in advance.
