Default key lock lubrication
what do you put into the door locks to lubricate them?

car door locks i mean, i've replaced the fiestas boot lock a while back, but the grease i put in, just regular normal stuff, seems to have dried out, so what do i stick in to stop it from happening agian?

Use a silicon or teflon lube, that way it doesnt attract dirt & dust like a wet lube and doesnt dry out.

Just buy a spray tin of white grease, also good on the bonnet release as these stick.
