how does powdered graphite in a lock keep it from freezing? if the polwder is
in the cylinder, then water get also gets into the cylinder then it freezes
wouldn't you just have a frozen cylinder that doesn't turn?

Dunno, but I will say I use powdered graphite at the first sign of
lock stickiness in the cold, and I haven't had a lock freeze on me.

I don't go round pouring water into my lock cylinders though. :-)
