When Worcester lows reach 17F, 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 Worcester summers affect door locks?
Doors swell and frames shift in heat, so with highs near 79F a Worcester deadbolt that only binds in summer usually means a strike plate needs adjusting.
