Acetone in keyhole?
I used to service the locks at a hotel, that used Lock Ease
Graphited Lock Fluid. That awful black crap caused more problems than the tenants. Dried up, and got sticky. As to the plastic piece, someone has to take the lock apart to get the piece out. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. wrote in message ...
