There are a lot of lubricants to decide to use. My old standby is Tri-Flow. I have always liked this one. It is silicon based. A lot of people use WD-40 just the basic one. It is a penetrating oil, It is not a lock lubricant. But for sticky locks or or a lock that's jammed up on you WD-40 is is a nice start because it's a penetrating oil but it does not lubricate your lock. If your lock is sticky do not put oil in it, WD-40 is a penetrating oil so it's not a lubricant so it's good sometimes to help you unstick a lock a door lock but uh it's a penetrating oil it's not a lubricant the one my go-to is Tri-Flow it is a silicone-based lubricant. There is 3 in 1, all sorts of dry lubricants and wet lubricants now to unstick a lock. I like a wet lubricant and we will talk about the different ones in another video a fairly new product is WD-40 has a silicon based lubricant.
WD-40 Specialist® Silicone Lubricant safely lubricates, waterproofs and protects metal and non-metal surfaces such as rubber, plastic and vinyl. This formula dries fast and leaves a clear, non-staining film that doesn't stick or make a mess, so it won't attract dirt. This silicone lubricant spray is great for use on cables, pulleys, guide rails, valves, linkages, hinges, locks and more. Effective in-use temperatures ranging from -100° F to 500° F.

Thanks for sharing. My lock works like a charm after spraying WD40 silicone 😊

[@odinslockllc]

This is a rough topic to discuss. Lots of opinions out there. It’s important to say that “WD-40” is a brand name. There’s more than a couple of dozen versions out there where some are just water displacing as the “original” is and others are penetrants to full blown lubricants. I personally look for stuff that sprays clear and will evaporate and leaves behind something that will continue to lubricate. Many brands offer that. I used to use Masters Lock Lube, and now mostly use Houdini products for Locksmithing. It depends on where I gotta go to get it though. Houdini is in Lowes or at lock supply house. WD40 is good to have around but it’s also what I buy for cheap repair stuff or for the kids to use on their bikes etc. If I caught them using my Houdini on their bikes I’d have a heart attack🤣. Everyone has their preference. Thanks for sharing!

Triflow contains ptfe (trade name Teflon). I don’t think it contains silicone. When you say silicon I think you mean silicone. Silicon is a natural element used in the manufacturing of electronic chips. Silicone is man made material used in lubricants, sealants and breast implants. We appreciate your great videos and sharing of your expert tips. Have learned a lot from your experience.

[@BillMetter]

I just want to thank you for this tip. I haven’t been able to turn the lock on my 2014 Toyota Tundra tailgate in over a year. I purchased the WD40 you suggested and after spraying the lock I was able to use it the next day.

[@alanlim7068]

i knew it with the foam base is the correct thing for locks that maintain the condition, once every year i apply them for maintenance. the foams that protect wear and tear and also numbers of times on open/close , weather condition also protect it

[@ablelock]

Hey Terry I use WD-40 on my service truck for my customers and I use the original for cleaning and servicing the lock and then I lubricate it with the silicone based WD-40 and I have been doing this for a long time it is a real good product and the other thing I like about it is that it is easy for the customer to fine so if they want to buy some to use it on their doors it’s easy to fine I do you just try flow and I do like that product as well but it is harder to find for the customer unless they come into the lock shop to buy it. So I always tell him to look for the yellow top WD-40 that says silicone base on it this way they can get a permanent lube and I tell them where they can get it at the big box stores.

Will silicone based eventually gum up the lock?

[@Bean_Sprout_3]

Hello, I have a 2003 Honda civic the driver side door lock won’t turn when you put the key in. Another lock smith said to use WD-40 which you’re saying won’t work. Can I try this lubricant your recommending after spraying the WD-40?

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

@@Bean_Sprout_3 use WD40 and move the key in and out, lots of times. If and when it finally turns use a lock lubricate similar to Tri-Flow. Note: you may need to rekey your door lock. They wear badly. Ignition too.

[@backyardbasher]

"Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant. Fact: While the “W-D” in WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, WD-40 Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product’s formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal."

[@doggy55915]

Hiya ..what do you recommend for the ignition lock?

[@ypcomchic]

New ignition. Don’t mess with ignition. Has a small lock piece on it that can “lock” itself while you’re driving if you spray it with wd40 which isn’t good to happen while driving. Be safe.

[@frankciccone8559]

So, why not Hondas?

[@doubleitp]

Because the Honda locks fail. Nothing to do with WD40 Silicone. He mentions it at the end of the video.

[@sapperdeflap]

WD-40 is not a penetrating oil, it's actually a solvent...

[@doubleitp]

This is the Silicone Lubricant. The regular WD40 is "Water Displacing", gets rid of moisture, but does not lubricate.

[@sapperdeflap]

@@doubleitpFunny, because where he points out at 0:23 is in our country(The Netherlands) the WD-40 solvent version in the original blue cannister, and the WD-40 silicon spray is in a gray kind of cannister, and is absolutely not a penetrating oil.

[@human1513]

Spray the lube between the slits on the door hinges so it gets inside to the pin. It does no good to rust proof the outside of the hinges. I used to see the same happen at auto shops where a lube guy would completely cover the door hinge but get no actual lube into the pins and bushings. 🙄
