How do I know if my lock is worn out, and what signs should I actually be paying attention to before it fails at the wrong moment?
Resistance when turning the key, inconsistent latching, a handle that feels loose or has developed play, and a deadbolt that doesn't throw smoothly are all indicators that internal components have degraded beyond acceptable tolerances. In Phoenix's climate, metal-on-metal wear inside the cylinder speeds up during the months when door hardware expands and contracts with extreme temperature swings. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, call Sundial Locksmith at (480) 525-7778 before a frustrating inconvenience becomes a security gap.
