That's definately true... Or, buy a soft compound pencil and crush the lead, that's how we lubricate guitar parts

Are you guys serious? This really is the first time i've even heard of this and i spent many of my proffesional years messing about with a variety of locks. Used to sell property you see.
I just use a bit of 3in1 oil, cover the key in it and *ooo err mrs* slide it in, nice and easy. Then jiggle it about a bit, till i think the hole is well lubricated, then go for some of the old in'n'out action.
Seems to please the g/f

she's always happy when i can start the bike and go away and leave her in peace you see
