With the cold weather and holiday travel coming soon, it seems like everyone has a full to-do list of seasonal preparations. Make sure that taking the time to inspect and repair your car locks is on your list before winter, as it could save you trouble in freezing temperatures. R.J. Lock & Security is here for you if anything goes wrong, and we have some advice and suggestions on why you should fix your car locks before winter.
Sticking Locks Cause Problems in Cold Weather
When vehicle locks start to catch or jam, you may be at risk of breaking a key, getting stranded with a malfunctioning door lock, or giving burglars a better opportunity to break in. It’s always best to address these issues before the stress of a sticking lock causes even more damage, at a higher cost. R.J. Lock & Security has you covered with our auto locksmith services, including removal of broken keys, fixing door locks, and assisting with car lockouts.
Cold weather poses even more problems because the grease that lubricates locks can freeze. Forcing a door or trunk to shut in this situation can cause permanent damage to the vehicle, requiring replacement mechanisms. If your locks fail in winter, you might find yourself stranded outside in the cold or in other vulnerable situations. It’s safest to have your locks inspected by a professional before the lowest temperatures arrive for the season.
Even battery operated or remote keys can face difficulties due to extremely cold temperatures. Before winter arrives, be sure you have working spare keys with full, fresh batteries.
Sometimes, simple maintenance from an expert auto locksmith can make your car’s internal operations work smoothly again. R.J. Lock & Security is available to customers from Ocean City, MD to Milton, DE, and the beach communities on Delmarva.
