Tips to maintain locks: Exterior door locks can and do eventually wear out or become infiltrated with dirt and grime which can cause the locks becoming frozen or stiff, or keys that become stuck. Check out these four steps you can take to avoid a sticking lock and give your exterior door lock a longer life. 1. Find a product... You can find lock-lubricating products such as graphite powders or Teflon-containing sprays at retail hardware stores both large and small. If you’re not sure of what product you should purchase, call a highly rated local locksmith and ask for their advice. Some locksmiths advise against using all-purpose lubricants like WD40 because they can eventually evaporate into a residue that attracts more dirt and grime. Keep locks from sticking with simple, routine maintenance. (Photo courtesy of Anthony Vester) Keep locks from sticking with simple, routine maintenance.

Most products will direct you to place a nozzle or tube into the keyhole and spray the product, getting as much into the interior lock mechanism as possible. You’ll probably want to have a cleaning rag or paper towel handy to clean up any overspray or runoff that may occur on either side of the door knob. 3. Give it a whirl If the lock is in a door handle, turn the handle back and forth several times and flip the interior lock several times, locking and unlocking the door (make sure the door is open and you don’t lock yourself out). Do the same with a dead bolt-only lock. This will make sure the lubricant reaches all the moving parts within the lock. 4. Clean it up Clean up any overspray or runoff from spraying the lock lubricant, including wiping down the exterior of the door knob or dead bolt itself. To keep your lock or door handle maintained, clean it as necessary or at least once a year.

Top Reasons for Changing Your Locks: Changing the locks in our home should be as routine and as essential as any other maintenance job we do. Locks help to keep our hard earned possessions and even our lives safe. There are several occasions when it is important to consider changing locks. 1)If you lose your house keys, one of the first things you’ll want to do is to have the locks changed. After all you have no idea where they might end up. Even if your keys are returned... by an apparently good Samaritan, you can never be sure that they weren’t copied first. 2)If you’re moving into a new home, you’ll want new keys as well. It’s impossible to know how many keys the previous owners gave out or what kind of friends they may have had. It’s better to be safe than sorry and change all the locks. 3)If you ask neighbors to check on the house while you’re away, change the locks whether you get the keys back or not. While you may trust the person you gave the key to, you have no way of knowing. 4)if someone less scrupulous had access to the key. 5)If you’ve given out spare keys to repairmen or other service people and don’t get the keys back, change the locks. Again it’s a case of never being sure who might have access to the keys. 6)If you’re going through a separation or divorce change the locks. As much as we may feel we trust the other person and want an amicable divorce, emotions run high and possessions can become an area of contention. You don’t want to come home to find half your belongings gone. 7)If you have room mates, the same rule applies. When they leave, change the locks. You may trust them but it’s impossible to know what will happen to that key once they’re gone. You don’t want to return home after a weekend away to find out that an acquaintance of your ex roommate held a party for a hundred of their closest friends. 8)If your locks are old or difficult to work it’s time to replace them. Worn locks can fail or at the very least you may find yourself locked out. 9)If you’ve had a break in or attempted break in have all the locks changed and improve the overall security of your home.
