my taps on my triple tower are sticking. sometimes i have to pull pretty hard to open them, and i'm scared i'm gonna bend/break/warp the top of my keezer from pulling on the tap handles so hard.

is this a common problem? is there a common fix?

thanks.

Yup, shirron or perlick forward sealing is the only way to keep it from happening. I've gone a few days between pours and there is no sticking at all. I've heard of people leaving a little spray bottle of sanitizer near the tower. You can insert the nozzle into the opening of the faucet and spritz it before or after a pour to keep the beer from getting too sticky.
