Why do locks stick in Baton Rouge winters?

When Baton Rouge lows reach 40F, 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 Baton Rouge summers affect door locks?

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