Stay Safe and Warm This Winter
February in Tulsa can be unpredictable. From freezing rain to sudden snowstorms, the weather takes a toll on your home’s exterior—including your locks. At Midnight Run Services, we see a spike in frozen lock calls this time of year.
Why Locks Fail in February
Moisture can seep into your lock cylinder and freeze, making it impossible to turn your key. Additionally, extreme temperature changes can cause door frames to shift, leading to misalignment between the bolt and the strike plate.
Winter Security Checklist
- Lubricate Your Locks: Use a graphite-based lubricant to keep internal components moving smoothly.
- Check Your Door Seals: Ensure weather stripping is intact to prevent moisture from reaching the lock mechanism.
- Test Your Spare Keys: Cold metal is more brittle. Ensure your spare keys are in good condition and not worn down.
If you find yourself “locked in” or out this February, don’t panic. Midnight Run Services is available 24/7 for all your Tulsa locksmith and security needs. Stay warm!
