Key does not work in door lock

I am new to this forum as I recently bought this car knowing that the driver door had been replaced (accident). I am unable to turn the key left or right when I put the key into the door lock to manually lock it. Can anyone tell me if this is something that can be redone at my mechanic or would I need to take it to the dealer?

My key works fine in the ignition and the lockable arm rest compartment.


Thank you
