What are some tips for preventative maintenance for my locks?

Keep locks clean: Dirt and debris can build up in locks over time, making them difficult to turn. Use a can of compressed air to blow out any debris, and use a dry lubricant to keep the lock mechanism functioning smoothly.

Avoid harsh cleaning solutions: Some cleaning solutions can be harsh and can damage your locks. Stick to mild soap and water when cleaning your locks, and avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Test locks regularly: Test your locks regularly to ensure they are functioning properly. If you notice any issues, such as difficulty turning the key or a loose doorknob, contact a locksmith to have the lock serviced.

Lubricate locks: Regularly lubricating your locks can help prevent rust and corrosion and ensure they operate smoothly. Use a dry lubricant, such as graphite powder or silicone spray, to lubricate the lock mechanism.

Upgrade old locks: If your locks are old or outdated, consider upgrading them to newer, more secure models. A locksmith can recommend the best type of lock for your needs and install it for you.
