If you're using oil-based lubricants like WD‑40 on your locks, it’s time to stop—and switch to graphite powder instead. Graphite is a dry lubricant that keeps locks performing smoothly without the sticky residue or grime buildup common with oils. It’s precisely why Home Secure™ Graphite Powder Lock Lubricant is often the smarter choice for maintaining high-security euro cylinder locks.

The Benefits of Graphite Powder for Lock Maintenance

1. Reduces Friction & Ensures Smooth Operation

Graphite’s ultra-fine particles act like microscopic ball bearings inside lock mechanisms—reducing friction and enabling smooth key insertion and turning. This translates to less wear and fewer lock jams over time.

2. Long-Lasting & All-Weather Resistant

Graphite doesn’t attract dust, gum up, or evaporate. It maintains reliable lubrication in extreme conditions—whether cold, heat, or humidity—so your locks stay functional all year round.

3. Protects Against Wear & Corrosion

Graphite creates a protective barrier inside locks that helps inhibit rust and corrosion, extending lifespan and improving reliability—even for outdoor installations.

4. Ideal for High-Security Cylinder Locks

Specifically formulated for high-security euro cylinders like Avocet ABS, Yale Platinum, and Ultion, graphite maintains standards without compromising on protection. 

How to Use Graphite Powder Lubricant

Maintain your locks effortlessly with these simple steps:

  1. Insert the nozzle into the keyhole and apply a small puff of graphite powder.

  2. Insert and turn the key several times to distribute the powder.

  3. Repeat every 6 to 12 months—or sooner if your locks feel gritty.
