Default Central locking being fussy!

The other week when i was using my remote central locking it was locking all the doors apart from the back passenger side, then the day after it decided to work again. Then on Friday my remote central locking stopped working completely and i had to use the key, i dont like that, it takes more effort!! Anyways about an hour later it started working again. Anyone had this problem before?

Sounds as though the lock/s may be stiff, esp if worse when cold.

As said locks stiff, Spray a little WD40 inside key locks and locking mechanism itself.
