WHAT IS DOOR LOCK REPLACEMENT?

A door lock is subjected to cold rain and wind as part of its everyday operation. Dirt and water can sneak into the lock causing the tumblers to corrode while the constant use of the lock wears on its internal parts. When this part fails the door can be jammed shut and unable to open or it will hinder the operation of the inner handle. The key tumbler like any other lock will wear due to the key being inserted causing the tumbler to stop working.

SYMPTOMS THAT INDICATE YOU NEED A DOOR LOCK REPLACEMENT

There is a distinctive sign that your door lock is going bad. When you put the ignition key in the lock it will not turn the lock unless you jiggle the key which causes the tumblers to move slightly upward allowing the lock to work. This is a sign that one day you will not be able to wiggle the key because the wear will have overtaken the lock disabling its ability to open and close.
