Best Ways to Clean padlocks

1

Properly lubricate the inside

How does a padlock work? With a key, that has an unique arrangement of metal patterns that rotates the gears inside the lock. In order for a lock to properly work, these gears need to rotate without any interference. Because of long term use, these internal gears may get stuck because of dust and rust. Using a Graphite lube is the best solution for lubricating the gears. Simply put one or two drops in the key-hole and repeatedly enter and pull out the key from the hole. Every time wipe out the debris from the key and the hole.
