Check for obstructions in the bolt channel. Apply a small amount of dry lubricant like graphite powder or silicone spray to the bolt mechanism. Ensure screws holding the lock are not overtightened, causing distortion.

Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. Check for debris within the keyway. If the lock has been forced, the internal mechanism may be damaged.

Verify that the door and frame are correctly aligned and not warped. Check that the bolt path is clear and that the lock is positioned correctly to meet the frame.
