Kryptonite Lock Issues

I am having issues with my New York Fahgedaboudit Mini U-lock. Sometimes the key does not turn all the way and sometimes I cannot open the lock, even with the key turned all the way. I have to pull and jiggle the shackle until the U portion comes free, sometimes exerting great mounts of force to pry it off! I have also noticed a bit of fine rust-colored debris on the inside of the lock and on the U portion. It's only around two years old. Anyone else ever have this issue?

I was having major issues with a mini On-Guard Bulldog that I bought used at REI for 8 bucks. Yesterday I put some ProGold Prolink lube in the keyhole and lock shafts, as well as a few sprays of WD40 and let it sit outside a couple hours. Works like a charm now.
