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.

That's what I thought, but does graphite provide any weather-proofing?

Not really. It's why the nicer Abus locks have a spring loaded shield over the lock keyway.
On the other hand, greasing the other moving parts (where the shackle enters the body and the locking elements there) is useful.
