Does anybody lube their door lock cylinders to prevent freezing and make unlocking easier? I was thinking about using some triflow (its a mineral oil/neptha/teflon blend), but I haven't had the freezin issue I used to have in my 91RS, so I haven't bothered.

Would there be a better selection of lube than triflow? I know griphite is popular for house locks, but those dont see the weather expsure of a car door.

 

I used triflow and it made a HUGE difference...I can now get my key ina dn turn it w/o any problems

 

I use Lock-Ease from CarQuest. Prevents against freezing (graphite fluid, IIRC).

hmm

 

Spray tube of white lithium works best for me, unless it's a 'sticky' lock. Silicone-type lubricants seem to gum things up after a while.
