WD-40 PTFE spray is my go-to lubricant. LONG lasting and works year-round in Denver, CO with all our varying temps and weather.

[@PanduPoluan]

White Lithium, being _grease_ definitely is not suitable for precise mechanisms. Its stickiness in locks is not due to it attracting gunk, though, but because of the grease's viscosity. White Grease shines in continuous motion, high friction, high torque settings such as ball bearings, sleeve bearings, pinion gears, and hinges. As you found out, it resists high temperature very well. But just DON'T use it for locks; it won't seize, but it makes things sluggish. Teflon-based lubes are _definitely_ the best for non-continuously moving precision mechanisms. Silicone lubes kinda live between those two.

[@disekjoumoer]

Have to agree with this. Lithium grease is something I'd use on bearings, but not on locks. I'd just use universal oil for that.

[@ThePreciseClimber]

Which grease is the best one for optical or floppy disk drives in computers? I've got one grease that's a mix of silicone & teflon (PTFE). I guess that would be fine, right?

[@colorocko1]

Your video cleared up all the questions I had and made sense. Thank you.

[@Yaroslav_Tselovanskyi]

What would you recommend for car door hinge mechanism? It has both plastic and metal parts and is exposed to moisture, debris and cold.

[@dr150]

Great test! I have some new aluminum wood clad window sliders that don't slide very well due to the tightness of fit. These windows are heavy and have NO ROLLERS. I've been led down the path that a PTFE non-debris attracting spray would be best (no WD40 due to oils that would attract debris). Dupont offers a PTFE spray (black spray can) and Silcone/PTFE (red spray can). There's other PTFE products like CRC, etc. What do you recommend for me?....

[@superjojo555]

did you fix it? what spray did u use to solve the problem?

[@fhtrucker62]

Interesting tests. I got some new Abloy padlocks and asked Abloy on lube. They sent me a pdf of maintenance and it said use a light oil for lube, as that is what is used in production and it has a brake effect on the discs when keyed.

[@ghffrsfygdhfjkjiysdz]

dry lubricants like graphite or ptfe are meant for high temperature applications. Wet lubricants provide better lubrication but only work at lower temperatures. Dry lubricants can be applied using a liquid carrier, however this liquid carrier may create dirt by burning at high temperatures.

[@chocolate_squiggle]

How come PTFE aka teflon frying pans are only meant for low to medium heat?

[@SomeoneSmarter]

I want some of that DuPont product, but I can't get it in the UK. Can I buy micronised PTFE powder and just mix it with some isopropyl alcohol to make my own version? Would that work, or does the DuPont stuff have more additives in to create a suspension of the particles?

[@espresso4eva]

Temperatures of 450F are way too high for any normal application. Any oil you can get in a hardware store is going to evaporate at that temperature (their specs usually allow up to 250F and some go higher). Even in industry, some high temperature oils go only up to 480F showing that your testing temperature is way too high for everyday applications. And even though dry ptfe is also my first choice for locks, any resin free oil will do an excellent job too.

[@generaza7609]

Baby mineral oil is the best and least toxic. I use it on my door locks and hinges and it works for a long time, about 1 year. It leaves my door locks silky smooth when that key penetrates the lock. I used to use olive oil, since olive oil is not actually an oil, it's a liquid wax. It will not dehydrate and cure with heat over time into a sticky polymer. However, it does not last as long. The main thing to watch out for is severe temperature changes in your environment. If you experience extreme cold, a synthetic is better. That's why I have been using Mineral oil on my locks and hinges, and it's cheaper.

[@SteveG325]

Great informative video. Thank you Wayne.

[@MrDeleoco]

IN your video you mentioned using solvent to clean the locks before the test; What brand or type of solvent do you recommend for cleaning locks?

[@iannamico]

I use that DuPont Multi-Use spray for motorcycle chain lube (and bug killer) It works really well and doesn't fling off. I can only find it a Lowes though.

[@6atlantis]

What would be the best all around spray protectant/lube/inhibitor for hitting metal AND rubber parts in my engine bay?

[@brianwaiting7899]

Zip-tie :) Edit: just passing by, not sure if this was sarcasm. Millenial's f#cked that up!

[@ericcarr7557]

What about any of these for use on a gun?

[@MatthJenks]

Haha, official word on WD-40: "Better than nothing." :)

[@cornfusedatbest6693]

I've always had good results with graphite for locks, and little to no mess. I coat the key a few times and it's not too messy. With anything that needs to be lubed, glued, painted, so on and so forth, and this is key, make sure it's prepped or CLEANED properly. This is going to be the difference between you bitching the product is garbage or achieving the results you're looking for.

[@MisterGank]

I really like this video, but I think I'd LOVE to see a follow up video on which product does the best to correct an already messed up cylinder that's been put through this test and isn't working in the greatest of conditions. I think that would be the no 1 reason any homeowner would go for an oil! As a locksmith, I run into this frequently! Adding these products to factory grease can many times create more problems! Especially Graphite! Mixing Graphite with a factory greased lock makes it turn as well as concrete!

[@sparkster7744]

I ended up here cuz I was looking how does graphite interact with plastic. Any insight on that?

[@mtube620]

which ones best for motorbike chain? I'm leaning toward dry graphite or dry ptfe.

[@Anonymous-ig1zf]

you really shouldn't use dry lube for any chain. White lithium grease is best for your application.

[@cesarbarroso7225]

It depends on the kind of chain your motorcycle have. Get the Service Manual and follow the instructions, the motorcycle has been tested with the recomended products for long times and it help to maintain your motorcycle for really long time, too.

[@mtnbikerva1]

Who has a lock in an oven? Why would any of these lubes need to be tested in an oven?

[@rmhutchins7]

I enjoyed your video. It was very helpful. Thank you!

[@waynewinton]

thanks for watching

[@TheLockman28]

Great video Wayne! Very useful information! What's your favorite to use on a lock that is already old and rusted out?

[@waynewinton]

Well locks are not made out of corrosive materials like steel so there should not be any "rusting out" but if they have alont of build up on them I reccomend a thourogh soaking in PB Pennetrating spray and lett it sit a few days. PB will break everything doun and then clean with solvent or break clean and lubricate with teffelon or PTFE.

[@Max-kw4px]

Super helpful. Thanks for sharing your expertise!!

[@kirstenwilliams5183]

I wonder how Fluid Film would hold up in comparison to these products?

[@WootersLockCompanyLLCRochester]

Thank you for sharing this--very helpful information!

[@waynewinton]

Wooters Lock Company, LLC No problem. Thanks for wtching!

[@Roudter]

The first item to breakdown at temperature is NOT necessarily going to perform poorly under normal conditions. Your tests don't explain this. You assume it, and it's an invalid assumption. For example, my car's wiring harness won't survive 400 deg...so, is it a bad harness? (of course not). You assume a better product will survive the highest temperature. This is silly and unfounded.

[@jeffmoss26]

Have you tried the Medeco spray lube (Poxylube)?

[@waynewinton]

msds says no oil so it must be a teflon type spray. I have taken Medecos apart fom factorey and they are caked in white teflon.

[@jeffmoss26]

Wayne Winton yeah I have some here, it works well.

[@RynaxAlien]

Teflon is toxic but effective lubricant. Graphite also great but downside it is hard wash away

[@aquakey9834]

how does wd 40 silicone compares to just regular wd40? what gives?

[@waynewinton]

+Aquakey 98 WD40 is the brand. Silicone is the product in the can. they are not mixed. It's no diffrient than any other silicone

[@HECKAKYH-ADEKBATEH]

Teflon should be banned in greases and home applances for toxicity. Use lithium graphite.

[@waynewinton]

Snowmass Village Locksmith Co aspenlocksmith.com/

[@mikeanthony07]

Teflon and ptfe are the same stuff, teflon.

[@waynewinton]

+mikeanthony07 yes but its pretty light. It wont leave as thick a film as the Teflon powder in rubbing alchol

[@mikeanthony07]

ooook.

[@tiredrummertube]

I guess water displaces water; WD40 is pathetic in the cold and icy conditions; you might as well lubricate with water because whatever you put it on/in is going to freeze up nicely! I sure appreciate your video test outs Mr. Winton. Thx for the upload.

[@waynewinton]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikeanthony07]

Doesn't blaster have the most ptfe in the industry in their product ?

[@waynewinton]

+mikeanthony07 It's very oily

[@mikeanthony07]

most ptfe in industry ? Don't understand your answer "very oily", you mean runny ?
