Default The wonders of graphite.

I bought some of that graphite lubricant from autozone for my door locks. The drivers side was sticking and had become worse when I had a new key cut. I squirted some of the graphite from the tube into the door lock opening and inserted the key a few times and turned the lock back and forth several times. I held the door lock opening open with a paper clip to help squirt the graphite in. It really helped! I suggest to anyone that has trouble with their door locks to pick up some of the graphite lubricant. I didn't use it on the ignition key lock but I have not had any trouble with it. This was on my 92 hatch.

Sounds like somebody is 85 years too late in reporting this astounding physical phenomenon! My great-great-great-grandfather was doing this to his front door before cars existed.

REPORTED FOR ****'S SAKE!
