Front door lock is warped again, what’s a good alternative?
In 2023, during a heat wave, I had a day when I couldn’t get my key out of the front door and had to call a locksmith. It’s a Schlage and he re-keyed it. It’s a round Schlage lock, like the type that comes up first for $30 on Amazon. Last night, it was cold and raining and I couldn’t get the last bit of the key in for 15-20 minutes. I’d been having trouble with it going all the way in for a couple weeks.
I saw that there’s some options for keypad now but am just generally looking for anything I can replace it with that would be less sensitive to warping this way.
