FAQs
I now have to turn extremely hard or shift the door in order for the mechanism to lock or unlock, what could be causing this problem?
We receive calls about this constantly. There are a few issues that can cause the lock to not function properly. During extreme heat or extreme cold, wooden doors can expand and contract causing the lock to no longer properly fit into the door frame. This can happen when I lock is installed during the height of summer or winter, once the temperature changes the door can shift causing the issue. In most cases a lock will continue to function properly, however it is recommended that you have a professional adjust your lock if you are not able to constantly arm it.

What is lock bumping?
Lock bumping is an undetectable lock picking method that criminals can use to get inside of your home or business. What the theif does is shaves down a key which fits into the cylinder of your specific lock, from here all they have to do it place the key inside of the lock and hit the key with an outside force and they are able to open the door as if they had a real key. This is a method that with just a little bit of training can leave your home or business susceptible to break-in. There are now specifically built locks that have mechanisms inside of them that are designed to prevent bump keys from working.
