How should I maintain my locks?

Maintaining locks is an essential part of ensuring their longevity and functionality. Weiser Lock recommends several best practices to keep locks in optimal condition. First, it is important to keep the lock free from dirt and debris. Regularly clean the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any buildup. For the keyway, using a silicone-based lubricant is beneficial, as it helps prevent rust and provides smooth operation. It is advisable to avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and grime. Additionally, exercising the lock's mechanism frequently can help ensure that it continues to function properly. If a lock shows signs of wear or difficulty in operation, it may need further attention or replacement. It is always a good idea to regularly inspect your locks to ensure that they are secure and in good working order.
