Why does my UPVC door lock make so much noise?
The cylinder may be dry. Lubricate it with a graphite powder lubricant especially designed for locks. Turn the key several times to spread the lubricant properly. For best results, you should apply a bit of the compound on the blade in advance. If the lock isn’t dry, the bolt may be scraping the strike receiver. Check if the receiver is loose and adjust it properly. Tighten the screws to prevent future issues. If these solutions don’t work, get the lock fixed.

It might be that the car door lock has accumulated some dirt or dust with time or it might be that your car key itself has become too old and has bent a little. In any case, it’s best to get in touch with a professional auto locksmith in order to look into the problem as the key might as well get stuck in the lock if you would continue to use it in its current condition.
