Default OT -- car door locks need lubrication

On another list, poster writes that all three
key locks on her vehicle stopped working. She
had always used the key fob remote, so never
noticed. This is often due to rock salt, and
weather. The metal they use on car door locks
tends to corrode very easily.

There are a LOT of people who never noticed the
salted up car locks. Car door locks are the only
place I ever use 10w30 motor oil for lubricant
in locks. I have a syringe with large bore needle,
and give em all half a CC in the fall when I
remember. Today, I have been reminded.

Oh, in this case WD-40 serves both as lubricant
and also water displacer. Much better than leaving
the locks dry.
