Why do locks stick in Wichita winters?

When Wichita lows reach 22F, 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 Wichita summers affect door locks?

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