Locks are small hardware accessories that are easily overlooked in daily life, but we interact with all sorts of locks every day, and these locks play a crucial role in safety and security. Most people neglect the management of locks after installation, and basically do not perform any maintenance on the locks. This article summarizes some tips for maintaining locks.

1. Some zinc alloy and copper locks will develop "spots" after prolonged use. Don't think this is rust; it's oxidation. Simply wipe with surface wax to remove the spots.

2. After prolonged use, the key may become difficult to insert and remove. Applying a little graphite powder or pencil lead will ensure smooth key insertion and removal.

3. Regularly lubricate the rotating parts of the lock to maintain smooth rotation. It is also recommended to check the tightening screws for looseness every six months to ensure they are secure.

4. Locks should not be exposed to rainwater for extended periods, otherwise, the small springs inside the lock will rust and become inflexible. Rainwater contains nitric acid and nitrates, which can also corrode the lock.

5. When turning the key in the door lock, never pull the key out before the lock core returns to its original position.
