960 Key Not Turning

The dealer will take you to the cleaners if they even bother with a car that old. In the past I have replaced these with used locks/keys. The ones from Volvo 850s will fit the 960 and they are plentiful used if you can't source a 960 or 760 (after 1987 MY) used. You will have to drill the old one out most likely if it won't turn. If you try light oil and with some luck you may be able to get it to turn, then it'd easy to get it out in the ON position. Another reason why I stay away from 960, terrible locks, soft keys.

Look guy, in this forum we try to help each other solve issues with Volvo cars. You seem to love to get into petty snipes and troll people who dare disagree with your views which are mostly to send owners to the dealer as you obviously have very little hands on knowledge about Volvos. Not helpful!

Not true. Certain repairs I refer people to the dealership since some of the solutions end up being time wasters in my experience. I've operated a licensed repair and sales operation since 2000. For those DIY jobs I quickly point out a way to solve the problem. Keys and ignition switches are, in my opinion, best left to the dealer.
After turning over thousands of Volvos over the years, I've learned a few things but not everything. The original poster is free to choose whatever course he/she wishes. About the time that they spend 15 minutes into the job, they'll probably pack it in and go to the dealer.
I wouldn't recommend a heater core change on a FWD model either to a DIY. Can they do it? Yes, Will it create a burden? Yes.

Why not contact a locksmith for new keys? I think you should approach an auto locksmith, they did not take much time for making new keys. I will suggest https://keyworx.co.uk (working under famous intra-lock brand)
