Why a garage door lock replacement gets harder on an older door

A lock that's decades old doesn't fail cleanly — the internal pins wear unevenly, the housing corrodes around the moving parts, and by the time it stops working the whole mechanism is often seized rather than just sticky. Forcing a stuck T-handle usually snaps the shaft or strips the mounting plate, which turns a simple lock swap into a bigger hardware repair. On a door where the lock hasn't been touched in years, replacement is almost always cleaner than trying to free up what's already there.
