Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best lubricant for locks?
A dedicated lock lubricant, like the Abus PS88, works best since it's formulated to get into fine cylinder tolerances without attracting dust. General purpose oils and greases can work in a pinch, but they're not built for the precision a lock mechanism needs.
Should I use WD-40 on a lock?
It can free a lock that's seized from rust or damp, so it's fine for a one off emergency. Long term, WD-40 attracts dust and grit that can gum up the mechanism, so switch to a dedicated lock lubricant once the immediate problem's sorted.
How do you lubricate a stiff padlock?
Spray a small amount of lubricant directly into the keyway, then insert the key and turn it several times to work the lubricant through the pins. Wipe away any excess so it doesn't attract dirt, and repeat if the lock still feels stiff.
How often should I lubricate my locks?
Every 6 months for locks in normal use, or every 3 months for anything outdoors or exposed to heavy use. It's also worth a spray before winter, since cold weather makes a dry lock far more likely to stick or freeze.
