HELP? abloy protec key won't turn smoothly
Not a picking question, but could use ideas.
My employment uses abloy protec, and the exterior front door has become very temperamental. Sometimes it works fine and others it has trouble relocking. The keys aren't worn significantly. I could probably swap the cylinder from another less used lock but I'm trying to find the easiest path. I get the feeling I'm going to have to swap cylinders, but maybe there's a maintenance thing I'm not thinking of.
I'm guessing the locks are at least ten years old. Do they wear out?
Any advice on lubricant? I think someone used silicone or WD40 at some point so graphite is probably a bad idea at this point. Maybe it just needs a flush with cleaner
