Not just a seized boot lock but door lock as well!

[David Caple]

yes I have a seized boot lock and have read the article in the forum on how to free it but I also have a seized door lock ... have tried lots of WD40 and time but to no avail. Just wondering if anyone has a trick way to solve this problem.

Something to vibrate the key in the lock is normally a good thing to try, have you an electric toothbrush?

Lubricant rather than WD40 and work the key repeatedly should free it up. GT85 is good, I use Silicone Lubricant for my locks.

You can liberally apply the lubricant, insert the key and then connect a buzzy toothbrush to the key and switch it on to vibrate the tumblers. Just holding the handle of said brush against the metal key can be enough with the lubricant to set things working again.

So an electric toothbrush or anything else that vibrates!! I'll give it a try but better not tell the wife!!
