Heat, dust and humidity wear on locks and keys. Plastic key heads crack in a hot car. Door hardware on balconies and villa gates takes sun and sea air. A stiff lock is often the first sign of wear.
Tower living adds its own limits. Many buildings have rules about access and work hours, so tell us your building name early. In villas, side doors and gates multiply the number of locks to manage.
Act early on a stiff lock or a cracked key. A small repair now is easier than an emergency later.
