But most likely the way it would happen is that I wouldn't have used the lock in several years and would have the trunk stuck shut when I was away from home, in the parking lot of a store where I had just bought something that needed to go into the trunk before I could leave to go get some graphite. It surely wouldn't happen in front of Home Depot or in my driveway. So I'd be fooked anyway. |

WD40 (brand name) makes a spray with graphite in it for locking mechanisms.
Dry graphite can clog up the locing mechanism, straighr WD40 will remove lubricant as it is also a solvent. Climate also plays a part, think about how you use oils and graphite with weapons in different climates. Opinions may vary

Personally, I have found that if I give the lock a shot of silicone spray, then heat up the key with a lighter, insert and count to 5, then work the key, the lock will loosen up.
Back-in-the-day, I would heat up the key, dip it in kerosene or coal oil and that would work - humfrz |

WD40's real formula is a trade secret. For all we know, it COULD have fish oil or monkey gland sauce in it lol.

Spray it on your fishing lures and see what happens, just don't let the game warden see you doing it. It is perfect for keeping my Atlas missiles from rusting. |

Fishermen (myself included at times) LOVE to confuse correlation with causation. I put WD40 on my lure, then caught a fish. Therefore, the WD40 is a fish attractant. |
