Before you go through the trouble of changing the locks or getting a new key, here are some tips to get your lock working without busting the budget or upsetting the management.

In order to fix the lock using the olive oil, simply rub a small amount of the oil on your key and insert the key in the lock. After inserting the key make sure to turn it to both the right and the left. After you remove the key make sure to check the lock by both locking and unlocking the door.

When you get to G, think “Go” as in “go back to the beginning of the alphabet, A and B.” The most important musical scales are typically written using eight notes, and the interval between the first and last notes is an octave. For example, the C major scale is typically written C D E F G A B C, the initial and final Cs being an octave apart. Two notes separated by an octave have the same letter name and are of the same pitch class.
