Why a garage door lock replacement comes up more on a flooded street

A lock that sat under several feet of water doesn't fail all at once. The cylinder pins corrode first, then the bolt starts binding in its guide, and what looks like a lock that's just stiff is often one that's already rusting from the inside. Forcing a key or a T-handle past that resistance is what turns a sticky lock into a broken one.

What a garage door lock replacement actually swaps out

Matching the replacement to the existing door hardware, rather than bolting on whatever's closest, is what keeps it turning smoothly.
