Did you know? 🔑
Every time you put your key into your lock and pull it back out, the pins in the lock are gliding over the cuts in the key. After daily use of putting your key in and then pulling it out of the lock, that friction can slowly “file” the key down, wearing away the edges of the cuts.
Eventually, a key that used to work perfectly may become worn enough that it no longer operates the lock the way it once did—you may notice it sticking, needing to be jiggled, or becoming difficult to turn.
That’s why it’s a good idea to pay attention to your keys when they start feeling different. Replacing a worn key is a whole lot easier than dealing with a lockout!🔐
