Fuel Door Locked

2007 H3, both fuel door keys fit in the lock but neither will turn, thus I cannot open the fuel door. Any tips on how to get the door open, before I take it to a mechanic?

One word: lubricant.

Get some Liquid Wrench, Power Lube, Kroil, PB Blaster..... and spray the lock. Better yet, get rid of the locking fuel door all together.
