Recognize or recognize hinges and locks in poor condition
Have your locks checked by a certified locksmith once every two to three years. This allows the locksmith to judge whether the hinges and locks still work properly.

This is often a sign of an old and rusty lock. Of course you want to avoid being locked out because the key breaks in the lock.

The locksmith can generally take care of this for you directly.
