Does "do" mean they go in and turn or not? In other words the problem may be electronic and not mechanical.
were you ever able to figure it out? 1 of my doors and trunk are doing the same thing on my 04 sti, nothing was ever re keyed. key goes in but won't turn either direction

Corrosion within the cylinder is the culprit, or binding of the plastic-lined actuator linkage pivot. If the former it’s easier to just buy a new cylinder that comes with two keys. If the latter grease and exercise the pivot link 100 times.
