Tips & Tricks

My multipoint door lock feels stiff and I have to lift the handle hard to get it to lock — is this an adjustment issue or something more serious?

Stiffness in a multipoint system is most commonly caused by the door drifting slightly out of alignment with the frame, which puts the rods and bolt points under tension they weren't designed to carry. In Phoenix and AZ, seasonal temperature swings cause frames to expand and contract enough to push a door out of spec over time. Sundial Locksmith can adjust the hardware and evaluate the frame alignment — call (480) 525-7778 before the situation becomes a full mechanism failure.
