Squaring Frames
To square the frames, you need to remove the trim boards around the frame. Be careful removing them so they don't have to be replaced. Once they are removed, you should see the shims and blocks used to square the frame originally. The rough openings are always cut bigger, so there will always be some shimming involved.

    Keep your lock working smoothly:
    The product most locksmiths use is any type of silicone spray. Don't Use WD40, it contains a substantial amount of oil (petroleum distilates) that tend to collect a good amount of dirt and dust. In cold weather, the oil in this product can and will get tacky and over time will start to solidify causing the lock to fail.
