ENTRY DOOR DEADBOLT BECOMING DIFFICULT TO OPERATE
The deadbolt on our entry door has become difficult to operate. I have lubricated the keyhole with WD-40 and it helped somewhat, but I still need to "jiggle" the key around to get it to turn in order to lock or unlock it. It almost acts like it is not the proper key, but I know it is. I have tried 2 other keys with the same results. Can the entire assembly be removed from the door and the lock set tightened up or something? I'm thinking something may have loosened up on the lock set itself. We have always only used the deadbolt and never lock the handle lock and I checked it and that one is working fine. Any advice or suggestions, as always, are appreciated.
Jack
