Default Dead padlock?

On Wed, 1 Aug 2018 18:03:36 +1000, cantankerous senile geezer Rot Speed
blabbered, again:


For a regular lube, I agree. To help with a seized lock, graphite is
useless


Nope, worked fine every time a lock has had a problem.


You didn't look inside before you applied the graphite, driveling senile
idiot, so you didn't know what was the cause!

- it can't get were it needs to.


Corse it can. It comes in a little squirter bottle with a long
spout. You squirt it into the slot the key goes in, when the
key isnt in the lock and them move the key in and out
a few times. That gets the graphite down the side of the
pins and allows them to slide freely again.


So does any quality oil, idiot! It also can dissolve dirt much easier, e.g.
sticky resinous residue, if someone applied a wrong cheap oil before.
