Pros & Cons
Pros
Put a squirt of lock lub in and keys work fine now. Applicator tip fits easily in the lock. Small product is so useful and i like the fact that it wasn't smell bad.
Safe to store. Just preference is all. This works sooo well.
The dispensing and capping designs are perfect. Great to have one around home or office. Prefect for tool box (next to plumbers tape) or kitchen junk drawer. Door hinges, pocket knives and other small applications.
Now it's the smoothest set of locks i've ever used after using this. The locks are smoother now than when they were new and no more freezing issues.
Manufacturer recommends oil like this to keep them gliding smoothly to avoid a mess of liquid sloshing out of baking dishes. A lot less messy than graphite.
Cons
Went to remove the lock today - the inside is solid! Now i have to have it cut off.

Shipping
Locks are like $5 a piece plus freight shipping due to their weight.

I've saved so many locks with this lubricant.
Dropped some of this lubricant on the key and inserted it to the lock a few times to get the lubricant into the keyway and pins.
Been fighting with my key in this lock since we moved in, recently, there were a couple times the key wouldn't enter completely... Read More
With locks you have to be careful not to apply the wrong lubricant.
Competitiveness
Living in alaska, our trailer locks freeze often, this worked great as a de-icer!
Had a masterlock where the shackle wouldn't lock down.
I usually just use random 3-in-1 motor oil or something similar as lubricant for the locks and they have worked fine.
