Large PTFE Lock Lubricant (500ml)
Locks4Vans exclusively formulates the L4V Small PTFE Lock Lubricant (150ml) to suit the cylinders and the environment they operate in, maintaining excellent lubrication and anti-wear qualities.
Choosing a lubricant specifically designed for your vehicle’s lock mechanisms is important. You’ll want a product that can penetrate and lubricate the internal components of the lock, preventing rust, corrosion, and friction.
Lock Lubricant is available in 500ml and 150ml cans.
We have specially formulated the L4V Lock Lubricant for our products to maintain excellent lubrication and anti-wear qualities. The addition of PTFE provides good low temperature performance and lasting lubrication.
PTFE, a synthetic fluoropolymer, is known for its nonstick properties and low friction.. People often use it as a dry lubricant in lock mechanisms to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation. Typically, people apply lubricants like these in a spray form, and they dry quickly, leaving a thin protective film on the lock components.
During adverse weather conditions or high usage, it may be necessary to increase the maintenance frequency. An indication that lubrication is required is when key operation, including insertion into the cylinder, becomes stiffer and more difficult to use than usual.
Before applying any lubricant, it’s a good idea to clean the lock with a lock-specific cleaner or a mild solvent to remove any existing debris or residue. Follow the instructions provided by the lubricant manufacturer and apply a small amount of lubricant directly into the lock mechanism, working it in by operating the lock a few times. Avoid over-lubrication, as excess lubricant can attract dust and dirt, which may hinder the lock’s performance.
We advise that you should NEVER use WD40 (or similar) in your vehicle’s locks. This is because WD40 is a cleaner, not a lubricant.
