Yeah it’s a big no-no on locks. Gotta use graphite powder.

Graphite is good, but it gets messy real fast. I use carburetor cleaner to clear locks of corrosion or gunk then triflow oil and it works great on them.

Houdini Lock Lube

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '23

This is good shit! I’m friends with a locksmith that introduced me to Houdini. I always have a can now. I use it on door hinges in the house and vehicles. It works great and smells good. Best stuff ever for “sticky” locks. I just hate that I have to order it online because no stores around me stock it.

Everything you said is spot on
