When Montgomery lows reach 35F, moisture inside a cylinder can freeze and metal parts contract, so a lock that turns stiffly in cold weather often needs graphite lubricant rather than replacement.

Do Montgomery summers affect door locks?

Doors swell and frames shift in heat, so with highs near 92F a Montgomery deadbolt that only binds in summer usually means a strike plate needs adjusting.
