What do I do when the deadbolt doesn't lock right?

Most times, deadbolts don't lock properly when they are not aligned with the strike plate at the door jamb, or when the strike is damaged. So, our professionals advise you to check the condition of the strike plate. Check the edges of the plate and make sure it is aligned and the screws are tightened and not damaged in any way. Then check the bolt. If it doesn't come out completely, the lock needs to be repaired.

What to do when locks freeze in the winter?

The best solution to freezing locks is lubrication. This is a very important part of lock maintenance. There are a number of specially formulated lock lubricants in the market, many of which are graphite based. These are perfect for preventing moisture from condensing on the interior surfaces of the lock. Once the lubricant has been applied, the chances of the locks freezing will be drastically reduced.
