How often should you lubricate your door locks?
Grumpty's answer
Every 12 months
Why bother
A dry lock seizes, usually with you on the wrong side of it. A thorough-tier job. Skippable when life's busy, worth it when it isn't.
When to start thinking about it
No notice needed, really. Grumpty mentions it the day it comes due and that's that. Mark it done and Grumpty sets the next one, every 12 months, so you can go back to forgetting it exists.
Let Grumpty remember it for you
Add it once. Grumpty tracks the date, grumbles when it's due, and rolls it forward the moment you mark it done. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes, no forgetting.
