Don't use oil or WD-40 in the keyhole: the wet film collects dust and makes the lock stiffer over time. If oil or WD-40 has already gone into the lock, don't add graphite on top, because the two mix into a sludge. Call us on 0151 521 8089 for advice. Keep graphite away from smart lock electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more in our guide: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/how-graphite-powder-lubricant-protects-your-high-security-lock-and-why-it-matters\" title=\"Graphite powder for locks: what it is and how to use it\"\u003egraphite powder for locks: what it is and how to use it\u003c\/a\u003e.
