When Fort Myers lows reach 54F, 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 Fort Myers summers affect door locks?

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