Why do locks stick in Miami winters?
When Miami lows reach 61F, 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 Miami summers affect door locks?
Doors swell and frames shift in heat, so with highs near 89F a Miami deadbolt that only binds in summer usually means a strike plate needs adjusting.
