Welcome to the forum Wulf. I haven't the faintest idea how the locks actually work, but if it is working, I can't see a reason for changing it out because of the screeching noise. Sounds like it just needs a bit of lubricant. If the car was sitting outside on a lot for awhile, moisture might have gotten in and rusted something up a bit.
