Why do locks stick in Virginia Beach winters?

When Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach summers affect door locks?

Doors swell and frames shift in heat, so with highs near 88F a Virginia Beach deadbolt that only binds in summer usually means a strike plate needs adjusting.
