Michigan's weather significantly impacts locks. Harsh, cold winters with snow and ice can freeze doors and cause locks to seize up. The freeze-thaw cycles can also lead to moisture entering lock mechanisms, causing rust and internal damage. Humid summers can cause wooden doors and frames to swell, making them harder to open. Michigan's housing ranges from historic homes in older cities to modern suburban houses and rural properties.
