There are 3 sizes of aerosol cans of Tri-Flow with teflon (PTFE-polytetrafluoroethylenecthe very same product ingredients as Gor-Tex, and implantable patches for anuerysms and is polymer based, originally developed by Dupont in 1938. You can buy the large can for about $11 at True Value Hardware Stores. The Gunk Liquid Wrench is sold there also. It has teflon/BN-whatever that is in it.

Thanks for the info Larry,

I purchased a can of Dupont Teflon Multi-Purpose for locks form Lowes. I serviced both locks and the top one is as smoothe as butter now. The bottom one will still only let the key half-way in. Mechanism seems to be off-kilter.

I'll strip the lock down this weekend and try again but if still no luck will request a replacement.

Cheers,
Neal
