Loosen a Stiff Lock

From outdoor shed locks to your front door lock, it's pretty easy for these locks to become stiff and stuck over time. And while this isn't uncommon, it's not something you want to put at the back of your mind, as it'll just get worse and worse as the days go by. But instead of heading to the store and buying an expensive chemical to solve the problem, you could use a soap instead.

This is an environmentally friendly and budget-friendly way to loosen a stiff lock, and it's actually best to lather the key in soap rather than the lock itself. When you put the key in the lock, it should work its magic.
