If you want the proper lock lubricant, use graphite powder. It won't attract dirt to lock mechanisms like an oil would. Graphite lubricant is the correct choice for locks.
Exterior door locks have a pressure plate thats pretty effective at keeping dust & muck out. Interior ignition keyways are always inside your car, so they don't get (much) exposure to dust either.
WD-Forty is fine for these applications.
Yes, graphite *is* a generally preferable lubricant for *most* locks, but for the applications Scotty mentions here, the difference is insignificant.
Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong, but I'd be concerned about graphite's conductivity while using it for my car. I'd be less worried about the door locks than the ignition, if there's any electronics in there you might fry them.
I've used graphite on my BMW X5 on all locks, no problems!
@@themykeshow9027 ~ You'll just have to do it more often, that's all.
@@jonathanmueller2849 It's a non-issue my dude. The mechanical portion of the ignition switch is separate from the electric ignition switch portion. The main concern are door locks, of which are exposed to the harsh outside environment. This is why automotive door locks are a wafer design, as they are more resilient to harsh conditions.
Removes adhesive residue like a champ, too!
That's a good tip, too.

I put WD-40 in my locks about once a year and sometimes in the ignition switch, I also put some on the door hinges but lately I have used silicone.
lithium grease for door hinges
@@iamdmc silicone works good.
Used lithium grease and it gave me a squeak after one month 🤣 switching to Wd-40
Use white grease
Yea for areas where water or moisture heavy, it lubricates better and last longer
I use it to lubricate between window and frame on my car :)
I trust that Scotty knows ... but I was always told that liquid lubricants should NOT be used on locks b/c of the tendency for the lubricant to catch and harbor dust/dirt which acts to inhibit the workings of the lock.
well, he is not using lubricant
WD-40 was designed as Water Displacement agent and this what it is. It is not lubricant.
Right so why tf is he saying its good for locks when it isnt..tons of knowledgeable people regarding locks of all kinds say dry ptfe lube is the best.@@WizardNumberNext
Gosh, he helped me solve my problem and I didn't even have to watch the short. I just saw the thumbnail and I was like, "Oh ya, that stuff is what will help me get that gas line end cap off." And it did! Thanks Scotty!

I do this for those locking trailer hitch pins...mine has never failed so far.
Same
@Paul Robert There are many people who complain about those because after being on for some time dirt/salt/debris gets in them and makes it impossible to even get their key in sometimes. And even when they get the key in its so frozen that people have broken the key of in the hitch pin lock. They end up cutting it off so that they can remove their trailer hitch.

Best DIY mechanic of all time. Scotty Kilmer.
It definitely works was actually invented for the Atlas rockets to coat the outside of them to prevent ice buildup
I use powdered graphite, lasts longer and no smell
+1. WD40 which attracts dirt in this application. WD 40 is great stuff, but not for locks/ignition
@@glennhansel9411 I recently got my house keys stuck in my apt lock. Bldg & door is old AF. Initially my instinct was to use WD-40 but I checked w/ my brother who works in the locks dept at Home Depot. He says that's a BIG misconception. In a pinch take the tip of a pencil and smoosh a little in there. In the case of the apt door lock the insides are off track, the oil will only make it worse, the graphite provides a smooth surface. In Scotty's case- whatever works 😌
it's the right thing to use on locks - any liquid lubricant will gum up a lock
I had always been told that you should use graphite because WD-40 would gum it up.
Yup Graphite Powder
Scotty is that guy that tells you gold tricks'n'tips but you ignore them cause you think you're smarter...
thank you so much Scotty for your videos !!!
That's right, Scotty.
I also use it on my joints before I go to sleep. I feel brand new again.
I hope everyone is doing well today ❤️
Thank you! 👍

and if you have troubles with carpenter bees spray wd40 in the holes wont kill the bees so they can continue to pollinate but they wont come back
They'll just make a hole somewhere else.
I just fill the hole with caulk

Exactly.
Have had many used and high mileage vehicles and definitely don’t spray WD40 in the locks, esp the ignition lock, stuff stinks.
🙂
Making a problem out of nothing lmao and that WD 40 will destroy his locks if he stops using it that’s why he hasn’t been able to stop.
You need a heavier key chain, it is not the keys, but the ignition switch.
On old cars keys and locks definitely become an issue. I have an 84 rx7 and wd40 helped a bunch, my locks were so stiff and dry and they turn pretty easily after some lubricant
I’ve been doing this ever since I discovered WD-40.
I also use it on my house keys.
During the winter it will help to keep condensation off the locking mechanism so my locks don’t freeze - car and home.
You can use the less expensive version. (WD-30)

Good Luck 🍀 out there
Tri-Flo is the best choice
@@skisquatch Great 👍🏽 Thank You, I’ll look for that.
Yeah wd-40 was the only thing around for that locksmith 40 years ago. Cant blame him. But yeah much better options today.
Especially in dry / dusty climates this is more harmful than hood. White lithium grease is good for lock cylinders too
I was told the same thing by a locksmith
I worked for a guy who owned coin operated machines and he prohibited the use of WD40 in the coin apparatus because it would gum-up the works.
Dry lube, wax based, is best for those. The oil fraction of WD-40 collects that dust and lint that "gums up" the works.
Probably best with a dry graphite based spray lube.
I use wd40 on my break pads so they stay lubricated and last longer.

Some locksmiths swear by it some Curse it vehemently 🤷♂️💕
Just the dumb ones
I've never, EVER, heard a locksmith recommend WD-40. Every one I know or have talked to about it over the years, have said either to use dry lube or graphite.
Not only does WD-40 get sticky, but it also attracts dirt and dust like a magnet attracts iron.
I use it on many things,but I got told by a guy that fits doors it makes the Lock brittle and causes issues
I've used it on door locks twice before and had to replace them both times, because the locks just crumbled into 20 pieces.
@@oginaz The only locksmiths who will advise you to use any kind of solid in a lock are ones desperate for buisness because graphite and teflon will cake up inside your lock and eventually break it. WD-40 works perfectly fine and wont ruin any kind of lock. 20 year veteran auto locksmith speaking from experience here. Worst case scenario soneone mistakes pam cooking spray for wd40 and it gums stuff up... A little shot of brake clean and some wd40 and that lock is good to go for years... put graphite in it and it will jam up and break parts and get in places that cant be accessed and you need brand new locks... Its the same thing when the dealer tells you your 100 year old tech infernal combustion engine only needs oil changes every 10-15k miles... they will only be all too happy to sell you a brand new car.
Works great! When i press the unlock button on my key, the door still unlocks lol
Keep spraying that damn key.
If your remote battery dies, just open it up and spray WD40 inside it. Works like a charm. Thank me later 😬
I'm an aging ski coach, can I use wd-40 on my joints?
Many people do and swear it works. The company can't recommend it and some say the chemicals can harm you if used regularly... but I've heard it does work many times from many people.
WD-40 is probably one of the best inventions of all time. Fixes so many things
I beg to differ, it was something they used for equipment in winter weather.
It's not the best thing to used as lubrication. Like motor, it'll dry out. It's not really oil, it's like minerals.
If you use on chain, like bike chain it will attract dirt to it and hard to clean off.
It can't fix stupid, based on all the comments from people who think it's a lubricant.
I use this stuff when my muffler bearings are screaming, quites them boys right down.
I've never done this and never had any issues with keys ever.
They can be an issue in cold and salty climates.
Lucky you, some of us aren't so lucky 🙄
Went to buy an Audi a3 and had issues in two door locks, I didnt bought it they didnt took care of it very well like Scotty did here.

YOU RIGHT SCOTTY, GREAT STUFF AND I HAVE USED IT FOR YEARS TOO.
Scotty’s outstanding to have around. I hope 🤞 he lives a long life
Makes a nice cologne too. Just a dash and I'm out the door.
I'm certain Scotty uses WD-40 as aftershave... his skin is as smooth as a baby's butt. 😂🤣😋
I'm sure he drinks it to lubricate his insides and sprays his groin area so avoid shafing.
"Sir I'm afraid that because of your age your bones are deteriorating"
"Imma just use some WD-40 on em"
At the Blackhat conference, they taught us that WD-40 will sieze the tumblers in a lock. I tested it myself numerous times and sure as hell if you use WD-40 and don't use a proper lubricant, like graphite, afterward you can seize the lock.
Wouldn't a graphite powder or cylinder grease last longer?
No WD-40 works just the same.
I got a 93' Toyota corolla and original locks still work, just a new key, it's unbelievable how solid those cars were made
THAT'S A SOLID BUILT LITTLE BABY
Also just a side note, a 93 Corolla isn't the type of car people brag about, yes I did it too (I've also a 1983 GTI in which the locks have never failed me), but I said 93 with slightly more class, so if anyone wants to chime In with their '93 corvette, testarossa, 911, etc. that's been garage kept for 30 years by all means.

Some people say you should use graphite, but WD-40 works perfectly fine.
Graphite i think is more smooth physical jerkiness between key and the pins, not dry up so to say, but you're right its used
and probly holds for a given time while WD40 evaporate and the lubricant properties won't last.
The dust from it is very bad when inhaled. And every time you use your key it will be on your hands. Dust gets released from the lock every time you start the car for like a month. Our poor lungs. Did you hear.... people are now like sueing baby powder brands do to dust inhalation. 😂🤣😂🤣
Anything that stays there will attract grime and dust to stick on those areas. Wd40 dries off after a little while so it works out. As long as the doors etc are smooth that's enough. You only spray a little or it will run down though.
Use Teflon spray instead. Then you get no dust buildup which can clog up your locks like with WD-40.
@@skidwirks7660 Yes Thank you for that information.
Also, every once in a while lubricate the door lock mechanism real well, specially if you live in a dusty place. Use quite a lot of lubricant, almost like a purging process.This will prevent stiffness and an eventual break in the lock cylinder.
It’s awesome! I even use it on my brakes
It removes rust. Then you have to spray it with different type of oil to keep it lubricated
Scotty, I see that 101st sticker there... which Brigade does it represent?
Screamin eagles...hoooah....!!
Use WD-40 on your Castmaster fishing lure. Spray a little on and cast.
That's done so the hooks don't rust. It will not attract more fish.
@@issuma8223 Actually WD-40 is fish oil based. It might actually attract fish!
I owned a '69 Ford Mark III and the door locks would freeze every winter. Any snow or water would freeze them up. Was hell trying to get the doors open. I bought a new 2006 F150 and put 355,000 miles on it. After 200,000, the most idiotic problems would show up. No more Fords.

Ahh, Scotty, the man of 50% solid advice and 50% terrible advice. I have a 37 year old Trans Am that's never had WD-40 sprayed in the locks and they work just fine, WD40 make dirt, grit and dust stick to the inside of the lock, if you keep spraying it it'll probably continue to work but if you leave it it'll likely grunge up and seize, use lock lubricant and I'd only use it when the lock or key starts to feel like it may be binding in any way.
I work in maintenance for a school corporation and one of the older guys that taught me locks says WD40 is the beat thing you can use on any lock and he’s right and so is Scottie!
