Both door locks froze, now it's nice and warm and they're still stuck! 900

What are the odds that BOTH door locks would become mechanically jammed after getting frozen? We had a few days of sub-freezing temps and we found the locks appeared to be frozen during that time. Since then it has warmed up considerably and I have tried to no avail to get the locks to move.
I've tried WD and similar dispersing lube, but the lock cylinders seem to be utterly stuck. I even tried the "new" key that I keep as a spare and it would barely insert into the lock. The well worn keys go right in, but will not turn the locks one bit.
Operating the driver's lock from the inside still makes the power locks work as normal.
What am I missing here? I'm beginning to suspect foul play...

Thanks!
Ben
