According to the "master's"

Strange recommendations from masterlock on not
using graphite for the keyway. Maybe because most
graphite stuff includes oil. I don't see how
powdered graphite, unless they make a very coarse
grind, could make the pins stick. And, I know for
a fact, having used it on locks many times, that
using WD 40 to flush out the dirt works well.
