Why do locks stick in Augusta winters?

When Augusta lows reach 33F, 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 Augusta summers affect door locks?

Doors swell and frames shift in heat, so with highs near 93F a Augusta deadbolt that only binds in summer usually means a strike plate needs adjusting.
