Broken Key Prevention
Prevention make a big difference, and broken keys are no exception. Some professional tips include:
- Lubricate your lock every 6 months.
- Keep spare keys on hand and change them out once you see a key is starting to wear down.
- Never force your key to turn when your lock fights back with resistance, no matter how small, as this can lead to long-lasting damage.
