Lubricant Locks Delta

WD-40
WD40 or “Locksmith in a can” is a great product and I have opened hundreds of lock where the customer had a key that didn’t work and I would lightly spray the key hole and the key would work (Note: I would usually rekey or replace the lock after opening). If I can not pick a lock I will spray the lock with WD40 and it will then pick open. I have had no luck with other lubricates, It may be psychological but it works. Source: WD-40

Tri-Flow Lubricants

TriFlow Lubricant is a superior, light viscosity lube that allows for deep penetration into hard to reach moving parts. The aerosol spray uses high-grade petroleum oils that provide optimum lubrication under extreme temperatures (-60 to 475°F) and humidity. I use Tri-Flow after I rekey most domestic locks.

Lock Saver

Lock Saver is a dry lubricant and will not attract dust and is recommended for most High Security Locks. Tri-Flow Lubricant is a superior, light viscosity lube that allows for deep penetration into hard to reach moving parts. Never use oil because it will attract dust and grim. Lock Saver creates a nearly invisible, semi-dry lubrication barrier on lock parts, so locks work smoothly … keys don’t get greasy … lock mechanisms don’t “bleed” or spill onto floors … and Lock Saver applies cleanly, without the heavy odor of other lock lubricants.

Graphite

Graphite is the traditional material for lubricating pin tumbler locks, however, I do not like using it. My Dad used it profusely in locks and had a large tin of it on his work bench. I consider graphite old school because locksmiths today have a great selection of superior lock lubricants available.
