My key wont open the outside door manually but the key less entry works fine and turning on the vehicle is no problem. I wanna fix this problem if for any reason the battery on the remote goes out and i cant get into my vehicle manually.

Graphite powder is one of the worst things to spray in a door lock. Everyone used it back in the day before synthetics like Tri-Flow or any other good lubricant came along.

I've replaced ignitions, and door locks due to graphite gunking up with moisture in the air, road salt, etc. Best thing to use is Tri-flow, or a Dri-Film lubricant.

For indoor use, it's fine, but anything exposed to elements should never have graphite used on it.
