Troubleshooting
Lock is difficult to turn or feels stiff.
Ensure the key is fully inserted into the lock before turning. Check that the gate is properly aligned and not putting stress on the bolt. The gate or post may have shifted. A light application of graphite lubricant to the keyway might help.
