The Five Ways On How To Keep Your Locks In Working Order
- The best way keep your locks work smooth is to lubricate every month or so . We recommend use WD40 on any moving part and a squirt down the key hole.
- To keep your lock working smooth you should always use your locks in the way they were made for. Example: Using a deadbolt to hold the door from latching, when the door has a door closer. Using that way could bend the bolt on the deadbolt, and now the deadbolt doesn't line up with the frame or its harder to lock. There for it cuts the live of the lock.
- Using original Keys that come with lock for coping. Doing it that way you always have a key is cut by the factory and cut down on ware and tear
- Keeping screws tight on door hinges. That well help the door from shifting and putting more force on the lock or locks.
- If the lock or locks start acting up try to fix or have a locksmith fix its before it be come a bigger problem.
