Re: Frozen Locks 200 1984

Although WD40 is a fairly good penetrant and water displacer,

it has a light solvent that evaporates (like most penetrating oils)

and leaves a fairly sticky lubricant. I eschew using it on spring-loaded

mechanisms, especially if the spring isn't very strong. For really

cold weather probably a teflon based lubricant would be preferable

once you get the thing cleaned out. (I think Liquid Wrench has

such a mix.)
