How often should you change your locks?

• <div><p>Locksmiths recommend changing your locks once every seven years for the best security at your home. Locks can wear out over time, so you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-keys-proper-door-lock-maintenance.htm">inspect your locks</a> regularly. A higher grade lock provides you with more cycles than those with a lower grade. </p></div>

Q: What is the best lubricant for a door lock?

• <div><p>Locksmiths typically recommend using a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, instead of the popular oil-based lubricants you can purchase at almost any store. Dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating instead of attracting more dirt and debris like an oil-based lubricant. You can find these at a hardware store; some are made explicitly for lock use.</p></div>

Q: When should I change my locks?

• <div><p>There are many times when you should change your locks. When moving into a new house, ensure you know the whereabouts of all working keys. You should also change locks after a home break-in, losing your keys, or if you suspect your keys have been stolen. Always change your locks when they break or become unreliable.</p></div>

Q: Why is my lock not opening with the key?

• <div><p>First thing first: Make sure you&rsquo;re using the right key. If it&rsquo;s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you&rsquo;re still locked out, call in for help. </p></div>

Q: What tool is used to remove door knobs?

• <div><p>Most door knobs can be removed with a Phillips or flathead screwdriver. If you don&rsquo;t have either of those available, a paper clip or small pin can sometimes work, but the extra effort may not be worth a quick trip to the hardware store.</p></div>
