How to quickly fix a sticky lock

Posted on November 27, 2025

Do you have a door, a cabinet or most anything else that has a sticky lock? You know, a lock that won’t let you insert the key smoothly (or at all)?

If you’re like most folks the answer is probably yes.

The first thing that usually pops into someone’s mind when this situation arises is “I’ll give it a good shot of WD-40”.
