Why do locks stick in Jackson winters?
When Jackson lows reach 37F, 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 Jackson summers affect door locks?
Doors swell and frames shift in heat, so with highs near 92F a Jackson deadbolt that only binds in summer usually means a strike plate needs adjusting.
