As a locksmith I use Houdini for EVERYTHING

I was buying a lock lube in a local lock shop (official distributor of FAB, the manufacturer of locks). He recommended WD-40. I shared my experience with it and gently suggested I want a designated lube for locks (FAB even makes one, as well as EVVA or Mul-T-Lock). It looked like we already agreed that I want to buy the FAB spray, but he handed me the WD-40 over again... It was funny as if we were stuck in a loop

Gummed up door problem. I am going to clean an re-lube it. Can grease be used on the slider and catches?

@LockandKilo 15 күн бұрын

It’s always good to remove the lockset and hose down the inner mechanisms and latch if it’s been a while. Also you can lubricate the hinges if it’s a swinging door and if it’s a slider spray above and below on the rollers!

@Leo-gt1bx 15 күн бұрын

The customer used wd40 and it is all stiff now. Would oil be better on the sliding rail? I plan to grease the actual catches and gear box.

@@Leo-gt1bxthat’ll work! Yeah, WD-40 always seems to work for people, but eventually it just collects more grime over time.

@@LockandKilo I only use WD40 for cleaning, anti seize or water displacement. I plan to properly clean the entire unit. I'm going to regreas the locking mechanisms and the gear box. Would oil or grease be better for the slides or should I just grease it all?

Safari Charlie's Lube Plus Gun Lubricant & Protectant, Houdini Lock Lube or Super Slick Stuff are all made by the same company (Protexall Products Inc.) and it is all the exact same stuff.

The one ingredient not listed on the “not in this” list is wax, so I am guessing wax is a key ingredient to Houdini lol

I got one from WD-40 but got PTFE (which I don't know what it is) in it. Any advise?

@LockandKilo 3 жыл бұрын

If it is a true PTFE then you should be fine. This was mainly for the common type of WD-40 you find such as in the video lol PTFE stands for Polytetrafluoroethylene... a synthetic fluoropolymer. In layman's terms a PTFE doesn't leave the oily residue that attracts particles and creates a grime. You should be okay with what you have there, just avoid this type in the video. - Kilo

What is houdini chemical? Smells like orange.

Lol…. WD40 is an adhesive remover.

@LockandKilo 3 жыл бұрын

haha WD-40 truly has a 1001 uses! Being more of a solvent than true lubricant, some of it's properties make it come across as a true fix-all lubricant to many lol - Kilo
