Replacing a Replacement Lock For Composite Door

Composite doors are extremely sought-after because of their stylish looks, improved insulation, and security. However, they are not impervious to problems such as warping and dropped hinges.

One of the main problems with composite doors is that they may become sticky making it difficult to open, lock and close them. This is a problem which can be solved by lubricating both the locking mechanism and the cylinder. While it's tempting to go for WD-40, we recommend using a graphite or silicone-based lubricant instead as oil-based fluids can have adverse impact on the door locks.
