Why do locks stick in Louisville winters?

When Louisville lows reach 27F, 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 Louisville summers affect door locks?

Doors swell and frames shift in heat, so with highs near 89F a Louisville deadbolt that only binds in summer usually means a strike plate needs adjusting.
