Need help with stuck pins

[ltgbk]

Pete was right and it may loose up the pin top and bottom. It does take time to get the slim all the way it. Just have to do one pin at time. Most time what i do went i get the slim in about half way. I lubrication right into the slim so it will loose up the rest of the pins. Keep this in mind take awhile to get these pin loose up. Went lubrication the lock let it set for a day or more. Might have to lubrication again to be sure the plug and pins are loose.....Timothy...

Thanks for the responses.
I'm having trouble finding lock save and houdini up here in Canada but have found some Tri-flow that I ordered and should get early in the week and will give it a go.
I assume that you mean the aerosol spray vs the Tri-flow liquid, is that correct or is either one just as good?

Yes, you want the aerosol as stated previously. I believe it comes with a "straw" so that you can get the lube well into the keyway. Let it sit a while, then try pushing your key in and out and/or moving the stuck pins(s) with a pick.

Tri-Flow may work. Don't know if they have any Monolex 2059 Spray can in Canada. This is good stuff to use for getting dirt or whatever else. I have been using this for year. You can call them to find out where to get this or go here: < http://www.thomasnet.com/catalogs/item/30495208-7527-1127-2741/lubrication-engineers-inc/monolex-174-penetrating-oil-and-lubricant-2059/ >

Keep this in mind spray it into the plug, if you have a rake pick, use it to loose up the pins and leave it over night. May have to do it again....Timothy.....

Thanks for the reply Timothy.
I have found a source for Monolex 2059 spray about a 20min car ride from me.
I can get Tri-Flow about 5min walk from me.
Do you find the Monolex 2039 that much better and would it be useful to have both it and Tri-flow on hand?

[Timothy]

I never use Tri-Flow that much only for more like to oil something. The last I heard that Tri-Flow have lot oil in it and may could dirt built up inside lock. Monolex 2059 doesn't have a lot of oil in it but believe me it does clearn out the lock real good. Have been using it for year.....Timothy.....

Timothy, I picked up a can of the Monolex 1059 spray this morning.
I sprayed the two padlocks and a number of others that I have.
I will let them sit overnight and try them in the morning.
I'll let you know how it goes.
