Many appreciate the simple application—just a few puffs into the keyhole—and keep it handy for quick touch-ups. Some report receiving nearly empty tubes, citing inconsistent product fill as a quality concern. Overall, most customers consider it an effective, reliable lock maintenance solution.

Lock went from almost unusable to working smoothly

Would Recommend

Worked like magic! I could barely get the key into my mailbox lock, then could barely get it back out afterwards. Some puffs of this and using it was mostly smooth, then I guess it settled into the mechanism a little more over night because the next day it was like nothing was ever wrong with it. Definitely less expensive and less hassle than replacing the lock, so I'm glad I tried it. Found out about it from the building maintenance team at work.

I won't buy again.

Would Not Recommend

There was not a good direction for use. I tried to use the product on squeaking doors. Very little came out of the tube. It was not effective.
