Lock and Key Maintenance Tips for CDA Property Owners
Proper lock maintenance extends life and ensures reliable operation:
- Lubricate locks annually with graphite-based lubricant (not WD-40)
- Test all locks regularly to catch problems before emergencies
- Keep spare keys in secure locations, not “hidden” near doors
- Replace worn keys before they break in locks
- Upgrade old locks every 5-7 years for improved security
- Consider smart locks for seasonal properties allowing remote monitoring
When to Rekey vs. Replace Locks
Many situations can be resolved by rekeying rather than complete lock replacement:
Rekey When:
- Moving into a new home or business
- After employee turnover in your business
- Keys are lost or stolen
- Ending relationships with key holders
- Between seasonal tenants
- Locks are in good condition but key control is needed
Replace When:
