do not oil locks, graphite power or lube is what you need, I speak from working for a locksmith for a couple of years, oil attracts dirt and shit, will clog the mechanism up eventually Smile

Yeah they recommend you rub a pencil on the key and then insert it into barrel.Doing this a few times should lubricate the lock fine

100% true fella, as we all know pencils are graphite and not lead like they were errrrrrr a long time ago Big Grin . . . . .  a pencil is what i use if i don't have any powder to hand, don't get me wrong, oil will free a seized lock but it will clog the mech in the end . .Smile

+1 my bro is a locksmith and uses ambersil graphite spray powder! Great stuff for less than the price of 2 new batteries! ;-)

 I agree with you, i also have asked locksmith fulham near me about it and they also suggested me to use ambersil graphite spray powder.
