Kaba Lock Cleaner Spray 90Ml Kaba

Product Information

If your lock is really sticky to operate, you may need to apply more GT85, interspersing the application of the spray with inserting, operating and removing the key. But don’t worry, there are plenty of alternative lock lubricants now available on the market that do a fantastic job of protecting your locks. Each product is suitable for a wide range of jobs from cleaning oil from power tools, loosening rusty locks, or removing residue from electrical equipment. Graphite powder is a dry lubricant and a well-known alternative to oil since it doesn’t leave behind a sticky residue. As these moving parts repeatedly pass against each other, they will be rubbing against dust, dirt and other particles which can cause friction.

Keep a close eye on any changes in performance, and if you feel a little friction, it’s best to lubricate the lock before it has the chance to worsen. Many people have a tendency to play with their keys or pull on them while they’re still in the lock, which can damage the internal mechanism.

There are two key reasons why it’s important to lubricate locks, the first being exposure to the elements. Then insert your key and turn it a few times to allow the lubricant to cover all surfaces of the lock mechanism. Stronghold Direct is the online division of our business Southern Stronghold Ltd that specialises in security hardware and architectural ironmongery. Turn your lock upside down and using a little plastic straw in the can`s nozzle and putting the other end of that right in the keyway, squirt the GT85 directly into the lock. With nationwide coverage, we specialise in van security locks, Armaplate, Latch shields, and a wide range of aftermarket enhancements.

By keeping your locks in top condition, you can make sure they continue to work as they should for as long as possible. While a lighter oil should be fine, heavier oils do tend to attract dust and cause gunk to build up which can worsen your lock’s function.

Read our guide on lock maintenance to learn everything there is to know about why you should lubricate locks, what to use instead of oil for door locks and other lock maintenance tips and tricks. We have offices located in the South and in the Midlands which have been established in the industry for over 80 years combined. Coastal locations have salty air which causes corrosion, while temperature changes and adverse weather can also affect the performance of your lock.

As it’s a solvent rather than a lubricant, it’s great for removing any corrosion and rust which means it’s ideal for cleaning older locks and hinges. This will not only save you money by helping your security reach its full potential lifespan, but you can also take active steps in preventing thefts and keeping your world safe.

Optimal Protection : A simple spray just once a month ensures your locking devices operate smoothly, preventing wear and tear. Ideally, do this at the first signs of sticking, as early lock maintenance can help you avoid broken lock mechanisms and snapped keys. If the key is new then there could be an issue with the way it was cut, or if not, then your key may have been damaged in some way. As this is likely to result in surplus lubricant dribbling out of the lock during the process it`s a good idea to wear gloves whilst doing this to save your hands getting messy, and it is also a good idea to hold the lock over some cloth or an old towel, etc.
