I'm due back in the city for an oil change in February; I'll get the lock cylinder fixed then. If it wasn't for the brain trust in this forum I'd be lost! This board has gotten me through so many random issues with my old Boxster and my current Cayman. I'll follow back with my progress.
About the door lock. When you insert the key does the cylinder rotate 360 degrees? If it does then the lock fix should take care of it. If it does not rotate 360 then it could be the rod that attaches to the door handle has come loose.

You do not need a low profile lift. The jack point is just in front of the rear wheel.
