Clarify something if you would:
Are you saying turning the driver's door lock with the key doesn't mechanically

like it's come loose or is disconnected between the pin on the back of the lock

MB rotors cannot be turned. To keep the unsprung weight down, they
are disposable. When they acquire a lip on the outer edge from wear,
get new ones. They are less expensive than getting them turned
properly, and cutting them down will make them too thin -- and they
then warp.
Rear
And they're no more expensive than aftermarket from the dealership.
Just put new rotors on my W140 a while back, and OE rotors were something like
$87/each my cost from the dealer.
I did, however, buy some nice ceramic pads from our sexy parts supplier to use
with those rotors.
