Door lock lube?
I see PTFE formula listed for such products as 3 in 1 Dry Lock lube and
several others. So far I've been using little graphite tubes for door and building locks - usually spraying it on the key, inserting and turning a few times. The tubes very quickly run out of graphite and cost about $1.50. I'm thinking of switching to the 3 in 1 product instead. Any experiences or remarks before I do so? TIA -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

TIA I use AGS Lock Ease colloidal graphite solution when I need or want graphite in a lock. (https://www.lawsonproducts.ca/AGS/Lo...Fluid/58570.lp) seems ti be hard to find in that plastic bottle now - most everyone carries the aerosol instead. I'ce had my little plastic bottle for YEARS. |

I use the Lock-Ease aerosol and it works well. Two caveats: beware of the blowback and don't use it on bicycle locks with plastic internals. I can't remember when I bought the 3 oz can but it's still going strong. |

I can't remember when I bought the 3 oz can but it's still going strong. I recently upgraded all of the locks in my house to higher-quality Schlage models. I had a locksmith come out to rekey them, and mentioned that I'd been having trouble with the old locks sticking every few months. I'd always used graphite to lubricate them, and was surprised when the locksmith told me that he never used graphite and had serviced countless locks where he'd had to clean them out to get them working properly again after an overzealous application of the stuff. His recommendation? WD-40. I'd always heard it was bad to use WD-40 on locks, but this guy, who has been a locksmith for more than 40 years, said he would use nothing else. YMMV. My front door lock in my new house was sticking so badly I was worried about breaking the key trying to unlock it. I sprayed some WD-40 in every available crevice and streams of black gunk ran down the door. After that was all flushed out the lock worked fine. -dan z- -- Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world. (Anonymous) |

Graphite can cake up into a mess with any humidity. I did use it in locks years ago and it worked well temporarily.
Now I've been using a drop of STP on the key and a squirt of WD40. That combination has been effective so far. STP is magic stuff, it clings to anything. Including your hands, you can wash multiple times and still have it on your fingers. |

The Schlage website recommends dry graphite for deadbolt cylinder lubrication.
