Garden shed padlock is refusing to badge.
It is (or at least looks like) one of these:

Had it for 10+ years, giving it a quirt of WD40 every couple of years.
In the last couple of months it was a bit tricky to open - had to
pull/push key in/out slightly until it would turn.
Today it would not turn at all - key goes in, and nothing more. I tried
the other two keys we have, but still nothing.
Not too bothered about replacing it, but Before I get hold of the
neighbour's bolt cutters, is there anything else I can try?
You should have used powdered graphite, not WD40.
Works a treat on the padlock I lock the trailer up with.
for an outdoor lock oil is better,
Nope, that is an outdoor lock.
it stops the innards rusting up.
They dont rust with a decent padlock and oil collects dirt.
