I thought graphite lube was intended for lock mechanisms. Am I wrong? Interestingly my son got a combination lock which warns not to use graphite.
Cranky-
That's what I thought, but does graphite provide any weather-proofing?

Don't get too hung up on what lube you use, a few drops of chain lube is better than nowt. Anything to deter oxidisation really, after all it's just a bloody lock, hardly precision engineering with high temperature friction to deal with.

Yes but the grit will displace, oxidisation will cause surfaces to bind.
