Lake-facing slider deadbolt seized after a humid week
Sunday afternoon - lakeside slider deadbolt on a Sherwood Lakeview home seized after a week of 90% humidity. The aluminum frame had swelled enough to bind the deadbolt strike.
We removed and re-aligned the strike, replaced the corroded deadbolt with a fresh stainless-steel slider deadbolt designed for high-humidity exposure, and re-keyed it to match the front-door key. Took 45 minutes.
Sherwood Lakeview's lakeside sliders are our most-frequent repair call in this community. The lake humidity is harder on hardware than people expect.
