Michigan's climate, with harsh winters and humid summers, can affect the performance of locks. Freezing temperatures can cause moisture within lock mechanisms to expand, leading to lockouts, while summer humidity can contribute to corrosion. Michigan requires locksmiths to be licensed by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. This ensures that all licensed locksmiths have met the state's standards for training and background checks.
