Cylinder keyhole condensation

mp3guy · 2020-10-22 11:25:35

Recently had some french doors replaced and the new keyholes are exhibiting a lot of condensation in the mornings. How can I stop this happening? We'll never use the external keyholes so I'm wondering is there a way I can insulate them to prevent this?

Spray them both sides with WD40 and then just leave them as is.

It's thermal bridging and will evaporate during the day.
