What Is Best Lubricant For Locks WD-40 Graphite Teflon Silicone PTFE Spray Tri-FLow

[@StevePittinger]

Bottom line, I know what product to buy. Some things could have been done to make this video easier to watch and shorter though. In particular, better lighting, a fixed camera position, and shortened "aging" sequences. I appreciate all the effort that went into this testing regardless of the video issues though. Thanks for going through all the trouble!

[@perrypelican9476]

A lot of liquid lubricants will free up a lock in the short term but will be responsible for a buildup of dirty sludge. The best by far is just pure graphite powder and you only need a tiny bit. It gets into the tiny crevices and no dirt will stick to it like dirt sticks to oil. Oil is fine for sealed bearings where dirt can not get in. I have fixed a lot of locks with graphite and rarely have to do it again. My experience with oil or any liquid has meant a return trip later and bigger problems than originally. Wd40 is great for rust but do not use a lot. One quick spray and wait. Other stuff will often make things worse as time goes on. You do not want a build up inside lock mechanisms. Locksmiths are happy to show up and free up a lock and do not care if they have to go back in a few weeks. It looks like it’s a problem with the lock, which sometimes it might be. But if they keep filling the lock with liquid, more and more dirt will stick and you will have to keep on fixing it. Use graphite powder and be happy for the long run.

Technically according to wiki....ptfe and Teflon are the same: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. The best known brand name of PTFE-based formulas is Teflon. Just something to think about...Your video is great and appreciated.

[@engineerncook6138]

Hi Wayne, Dupont appears to have discontinued Dry Film with Teflon and Multi-Use Lubricant with Teflon (2023). They have replaced the Teflon with hexagonal boron nitride, another high tech solid lubricant. It would be interesting to see if this changes your recommendations.

[@CharlesGuzman]

I realize this video is mainly specific towards locks, but I think that TriFlow is the best over-all lubricant (in my opinion) for every-day use. What shows up in a fine-tuned instrument such as the gunk and the easy moving pins is actually NOT beneficial for something like a bike chain/parts that need a thicker solution. With that being said, again I want to say that I realize this is mainly about lubes for locks, but on my bike, or larger more abused / indoor, outdoor things like lawn-mowers or tractors, I'd definitely go with tri flow over a thin lube like the dupont dry solution. I mean, they put straight up grease in most car parts and door hinges, not WD-40 lol, and they surely wouldn't put a thin dry solution on a 80-100 lb door. Great vid though, I used to use wd on my locks, and will now be looking for something like your fav on the far left.

[@waynewinton]

Every job has an appropriate lubricant. Green, wd40 , tri flo all have a place, it's just not in locks

Good information Wayne! I used to maintain electric strikes and only used graphite so I can totally agree to what you said about its unwanted demonic side effects from hell ;) Some techs used to use WD40 so these had to be removed to allow cleaning with a solvent as you recommend. I think im going to pick up some dry teflon and keep it in my toolbox to try out next time. Great test and review Wayne, much appreciated. Cheers

+Don Kazias Thanks!

[@skipphillips7755]

Thanks for the great video and I was not aware of the Teflon lock products, so thanks for the added info!

[@RobotAlistair]

Based on the graphite being clean at the end: What about a lock that has been cleaned with a solvent and then put through these tests with no lubrication?

[@0Myles0]

450 DEGREES! Wow. Where do you live? Wouldn't 200 degrees do the trick? Even in this sunlight on the hottest days I wouldn't think a lock gets hotter than that. Appreciate your videos though! That's a lot of work to do all this testing/filming. Good job.

[@freshgino]

A friend’s Smartkey deadbolt (Every locksmith’s favourite!) was getting jammed and all she had at her house was vegetable oil. I shize you not, it did the trick. Smooth as butter now lmao. Thoughts?

[@IamShrimple]

Teflon (PTFE) or dry Moly lube are the only answer, graphite can attrach moisture.

[@SoulAss4ssin]

i do not use WD-40 myself, i use dry lubricants but you said in multiple times that WD-40 was performing better than others, but you put it toward the bottom. was this because of personal bias against WD-40? when i put your findings into a flow chart WD-40 to me looked like the 2nd best wet lubricant you used. but hey, that is just a unbiased opinion, i would never use the stuff haha.

[@SoulAss4ssin]

i wounder how Dow 33 machine grease would do in this, i know it would hold particulate in it but curious about how it would work for hot/cold.

[@AikidoTubeSock]

Just looking for what else I can use on an ignition lock that is difficult to turn to the start position. So far I've tried WD40 standard which worked slightly; I got it to go but only after much histrionics. Currently I'm using the dry teflon stuff. It works better than the WD40 but still requires some jiggling. I am planning on using graphite powder next. I'm pretty sure I need a new lock cylinder and they are simple to install in my car but I already have the graphite on hand. I would like to see a video of how these products work on locks similar to mine but in ordinary driving conditions; I probably won't drive my car in 400 degree whether or through a sandstorm with the windows open, so much of what I saw here isn't relevant to my situation.

[@theeelongated5]

Thank you very much, that is way in depth, the silicone spray is great for guitars with a tremelo bar, bit on the nut, bit on the rest of the moving parts, and it seems to last. Cheers a lot for posting.

[@kyletracey5819]

Would the dry lube work in the winter as a de icer as well then if it has alcohol? I bought a can of dry lube for my door latch locks on my truck that wouldnt latch and keep doors shut. Both rear doors in my gmc wouldnt latch. Took apart , cleaned the built up gunk from lube in the past and got them working. With the dry lube , dust n crap wont stick to the lube like a oil base lube. 👍

[@GymChess]

I bought graphite spray and sprayed some of it in the car ignition key lock as well as in the door. What's your opinion about that? I'd also sprayed CRC lock oil in there previously, though not very much. I wonder how they mix up...

[@waynewinton]

Normally I would flush out the oil before adding the graphite

[@smartdummy5751]

I saw a video where a locksmith cleaned the lock with brake cleaner, lubes it with ptfe dry lube, and then used white lithium grease to "protect" the lock. It was for a car driver side door. Im having second thoughts about white lithum grease for locks. Would a clean with a solvent and something like wd40 dry ptfe do the trick for some time? I know honda and toyota uses grease on their locks in modern cars. Is this necessary? Grease just seems way too viscous for a lock michenism.

[@jdreynolds29]

Why do you have Teflon and PTFE both listed in your video title and description? Teflon and PTFE are the same thing. Teflon is just a branded name for the chemical compound PTFE, polytetrafluoroethylene.

[@marvinalexanderrivera6142]

jason reynolds so either come up when you use search

[@mehulparikh8570]

To Wayne and all other experts on this chat, please tell me what is the name of the solvent that used to "clean" out the lock's key hole and mechanisms. Also, once you have wiped away the previous gunk and lubricant from the keyhole and mechanisms is it wise to use the same dry teflon in the keyhole and on the internal mechanisms (or even on a padlock's shank?)

[@ErtOzk]

Probably non residue contact (electronic) cleaner or brake cleaner. Contact cleaners are best for job.

[@yaboybardos7127]

[@jurijjurij4439]

Why the heat test was made up to 450 degrees fahrenheit? This is unrealistic. I think 100 degrees celsius = 213 degrees fahrenheit is beyond maximum for door locks.

[@rich1051414]

The dry ptfe and teflon(same thing) sprays are just dissolved teflon in a solvent. When the solvent evaporates, it leaves a coating of teflon on the surface. There is no 'oil'.

[@Skip11AM]

Teflon is not dissolved. Teflon flakes/powder are suspended in a carrier, not solvent.

[@techwg]

Is it safe to clean a lock with water and regular dish soap, rinse well with cold water to get the soap out, use WD40 to get the water out and then apply 3-in-1 oil?

[@techwg]

+techwg Also, what would be the best method of cleaning out/degreasing a lock with the cheapest requirements and then applying graphite? I see people talk about using WD40 to clean out water after washing but surely you can't use graphite after WD40?

[@waynewinton]

+techwg NO WD 40! I use a solvent like mineral spearits or Brake clean. The graphite or tefflon. Soap and water are not really a good idea either.

[@techwg]

+Wayne Winton Would isopropyl alcohol be ok as a solvent to remove such things and clean off existing WD40 and 3-in-one oil to be able to use then instead use plain old dry graphite though?

[@bob5518]

What about Krown Rust Protection & Lubricant Max Strength? It's $9.95 for a 400g can. I get my car rustproofed at the garage once a year and it's available in cans and the Krown videos show that it can be sprayed into locks, mostly car door locks. Would it work as well on padlocks?

Removing Tri-Flow from automobile door locks and replacing with DuPont Teflon Non-Stick: I've seen you refer to brake clean in the comments below. Is that what you'd use to remove the Tri-Flow from a car door lock? Also, is this brake clean that you're referring to the FVP Brake Clean product? Thanks

[@waynewinton]

First Last break clean is simply a solvent to breakdown oil bassed lubrication

[@mumblinge5892]

Thanks. Sorry about not doing a better job in asking my questions. Based on this video it seems worth while to remove the Tri-Flow I put into the locks in my vehicles and replace it with DuPont Teflon Non-Stick. 1) Removing the Tri-Flow from car locks: I don't want to damage the paint so... In the comments below you mention brake clean. I looked that up and one company FVP has a product that they call brake clean. www.fvpparts.com/products/chemicals/cleaners-degreasers/brake-clean/ Is that the product you're referring to? 2) Would it be detrimental to the locks if I didn't remove the Tri-Flow and the next time when they needed lub just hit them with the DuPont Teflon Non-Stick? Thanks and a big thank you for the video FL

[@waynewinton]

You need something to devolve the oil from the triflo . The petroleum base is what a tracts dirt. I use break clean all the time. If used quickly and sparingly with canned air or compressed air to dry it quickly. Try it on a not noticeable test spot first to be sure

[@eksine]

just use lock ease aerosol, someone on amazon said it unstuck their frozen lock in winter. plus it's called lock EASE no need to think about this, it's graphite with a liquid for the delivery system

[@nikolajandersen2354]

Great video... Would I be able to use wd40 ptfe dry lube to lubricate my bike chain if I ride in dry conditions? Or doesn't it lube the chain good enough? And advice.?

[@waynewinton]

Nikolaj Andersen Chain gets dirt but also needs adequate lubricant applied often. I suggest a good oil lubricant. not WD40.

[@nikolajandersen2354]

I have a padlock on the back of my truck, and live where we frequently get freezing weather. The lock gets moisture inside and then it freezes. I can not get the key in or turn the key when i get it in the lock. Is there a good product to apply to the lock so it does not freeze up? It is a regular padlock - nothing fancy.

[@jrchicago9216]

You posted 9 months ago about your truck lock. The big round padlocks - we call 'hockey puck locks' on a truck should be per-lubricated before it gets cold out and again in the spring. DuPont Snow and Ice Teflon with some silicone is a good spray to douse the lock with directly through the key hole. In addition, there is a nifty rubber cover with a cable so you don't loose it. Check the size fist. Here is one of the products I have used with my clients. lockitt.com/Lockitt/product/HPRD0110.html

[@waynewinton]

Sounds like you have a lock going bad. a crushed wafer in the lock or weak or broken spring. I highly recommend you replace it before it locks you out for good. lubrication can't fix broken lock.

[@jrchicago9216]

As a locksmith, for decades I use the DuPont Teflon with some Silicone. Its offered under different names and in the colder climates they call it "Snow & Ice". The main reason is that here in Chicago, the ability to prevent freezing snow and water is important - while maintaining CLEAN lubrication - while NOT causing the keys to come out of the lock greasy or smelly (I hate that, that is so unprofessional). Regular WD40 leaves people with what a I call a smelly keys 'oil and perfume' smell. No one wants to smell WD40 on their keys and no one wants the black crud on the cuts getting into their pockets where the key lube gets wicked out onto. I loath using regular WD40 on anything in general because of the stupid tale tail smell. Is there really a moron out there who wants to smell WD40 on their hands and clothes all the time? People wearing light pants have a heightened risk to being outside visibly stained. This is also a reason I avoid graphite. Its too messy and at times a small puff drops on someones rug. Its does not come clean. I had that happen decades ago when the client applied too much and when I pulled the cylinder for re-key a stream of black powder dripped on a woman's rug. Fortunately she was selling the house and the rugs were being replaced. Who wants a $2000 insurance claim anyway? The one very annoying part about the DuPont cans is the long dispensing nozzle is too fat to seat well and often falls off and gets lost. The last case I bought I had to file the red nozzle to inserts and I had to crazy glued the dispensing nozzle to the spray head. What a royal pain. You would think DuPont would have their act together. But I really do like this product. We do a lot of Commercial 7 pin SFIC Keymark and Medeco, with outside padlocks as well so this is a perfect lube to douse through the entire mechanism just before winter and again in the spring. It simply wipes clean and the teflon has a moisture barrier film left behind. With SFIC we do twice annual preventive lubes on exterior cylinders. One of the things we are paid for is so there are no lock freeze ups. If a Client cant access a gate or building because of the lock, that could prevent them from opening and hundreds of workers would be standing around. That's a failure of service in my book. And I don't want that get a call at 5am demanding my presence. So far with DuPont its been zero failures or freeze ups with pre-winter and then spring treatments. I have not used the WD40 dry lube. I must say however I really like the nifty WD spray permanent tube nozzle's. But if the WD dry lube stinks or is not clean, its a resounding no thank you. Who want to be known as the boob locksmith with the smelly keys anyway? We might not realize it, but details count in the eye of the user. They may not realize it when you do the work. But that smell and staining in the pants pocket or a woman's purse right after is what they do notice. Its called negative marketing. One last thing, I don't like silicone only lube with locks.

You need to get to the point.

Hello JR Chicago.. please tell me.what ypu use to "clean" out the lock's key hole and mechanisms. Also, once you have washed away the previous gunk and lubricant, what types of libricants do you put in to the keyhole and on mechanisms?

@@mehulparikh8570 DuPont Teflon as I referenced cleans and leaves a dry film of lubercant. However, if I am dissembling the core to pin it up or stock up cores like SFIC I use Acetone (nail polish remover). But if you buy Nail polish remover, buy the cheapest without any additives like a lotion. I use a plastic jar to have the cores soak and just dry them off on paper, rubbing off old master key system markers, etc. I wear disposable gloves with acetone.

Your videos are full of good intentions, but the amateurish quality makes them really, really annoying. They are twice as long as needed, and the lack of rehearsal is a huge flaw. Look up some pros like the "Lock picking lawyer" (the content is just a coincidence) to see how it is done. Omit unnecessary words is my first suggestion too long, boring to watch

you forgot pb blasters graphite spray lube

[@clubdancewildhorsesaloonvi5166]

WD-40 is the worst spray that you can use. Using WD-40 will only clog up the cylinder, and this spray attracts dirt, and will only help for a short time and you will have a mess of dirt in the lock cylinder. The best thing to use is graphite, which can be purchased at any hardware store, it comes in a small squeeze tube.

[@HellGatefr2]

WD-40 on guns overtime tends to form a very hard to remove kind of "resin", so I would expect it to be a bad idea in a lock, except for short term use (that I would rinse with brake cleaner before applying a dry lubricant such as PTFE)
