If you’re a locksmith, there are a few common problems that you may encounter. Here are some of the most common:

Worn Keys: Over time, keys can become worn down. This can make it difficult to insert them into locks or to turn them in the lock. If you find that your keys are getting harder to use, it’s time to get them replaced.

Worn Locks: Just like keys, locks can also become worn with use. This can make it difficult to open or close them, and they may even become jammed. If you notice any difficulty with your locks, be sure to have them checked out by a professional.

Worn Ignition Switch: The ignition switch is one of the most important parts of your car, and it can become worn with use. If you notice that your car is having difficulty starting, or that the ignition switch is hard to turn, it’s time to have it replaced.

Mismatched Keys on Deadbolt and Door Knob: If you have a deadbolt and a door knob on your door, they should have the same key. If they don’t, it can be difficult to open both locks with the same key. Be sure to match your keys up before you leave home so that you don’t get locked out.

Low Car Battery: A low car battery can make it difficult to start your car, and make it difficult for your power locks to function properly. Add a worn key, and you may be calling a locksmith for a problem caused by lack of simple maintenance.
