Checking the front door lock

Checking the front door lock costs ten minutes now, or a fortnight later.

A lock that sticks is a lock that is about to fail, and it fails on the coldest evening of the year.

Worth doing

  • Oil the cylinder once a year, and never with grease.
  • Replace the cylinder rather than the whole lock when a key starts to wear.
  • Change the cylinder when a key is not given back.
