Why do locks stick in Huntsville winters?

When Huntsville lows reach 32F, 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.

Do Huntsville summers affect door locks?

Doors swell and frames shift in heat, so with highs near 91F a Huntsville deadbolt that only binds in summer usually means a strike plate needs adjusting.
