Common causes of lock cylinder twisting

  • 🔩 The fixing screws are aging or loose: The lock cylinder relies on the side fixing screws for locking. After long-term use, the screws become loose and fall off when twisted.
  • 🔄 Wrong direction of force: Some customers use excessive force to twist the lock cylinder counterclockwise during cleaning or maintenance, and it breaks away from the fixed slot.
  • ⚙️ Internal wear of the lock cylinder: The matching gap between the tumbler and the lock cylinder becomes larger, which can easily cause the lock cylinder to shift when the key is inserted or removed.
  • 🔧 Poor installation process: the original lock cylinder is not completely aligned with the lock body and easily comes out after being stressed.
