When Nashville lows reach 28F, 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.

Doors swell and frames shift in heat, so with highs near 89F a Nashville deadbolt that only binds in summer usually means a strike plate needs adjusting.
