Ithaca Lock Security: What the Climate Means for You

Anyone who has lived here for a few years recognizes: the temperate climate with distinct four seasons here means lock hardware faces stresses that similar equipment in other regions simply doesn't experience. In Ithaca, freezing temperatures can cause lock mechanisms to freeze solid, preventing key entry. Without proper attention, these conditions gradually compromise your locks.

Our recommendations for Ithaca property owners:

• Prevent frozen locks by applying graphite lubricant before the first freeze — WD-40 can attract moisture.
• Summer is the ideal time for lock upgrades and preventive maintenance before winter returns.

Every Emergency Lockout job we complete in Tompkins County takes these local factors into account, ensuring lasting results.
