Servicing the lock - to do - or not to do . . . that is the question !
Can't seem to find anything which tells how to service the locking system on any antique combination lock or door hinges, bolts and latch system.
I've taken a peek inside the back of the combination lock panel and can see where any previous grease had long since melted and run down the back of the panel.
Any thoughs on how to service these areas?
Also, I'm thinking I might rebuild my safe to include an extra drawer or two, and an extra pair of lock boxes - any idea where I might find the keys and locks for such items?
Thanks a bunch!

Graphite based lubes---NO
Blimey!!!! Who ever in their tiny minds decided to add graphite to grease.
Graphite is a naturally occurring product, generally, it is a fine powdered rock.. Guess what!!
Its an abrasive product, and thus should not be used on a locking devise.
Back to WD40 to de-grease n clean, low viscoss grease for locks, heavier viscoss for safe mechanics.
Hoping this clears up this little theme.
Remember, even John Travolta sang about the benifits of Grease.
