Remove dirt and debris: Use a soft-bristled brush or a can of compressed air to remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the lock. Be gentle so as not to damage the lock.
Clean the lock: You can use a commercial lock-cleaning solution or make your own by mixing equal parts vinegar and water. Dip a cotton swab into the solution and gently clean the lock. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the lock.
Dry the lock: After cleaning, dry the lock thoroughly using a clean, dry cloth or a can of compressed air. Moisture can cause rust or corrosion, which can damage the lock.
Lubricate the lock: Once the lock is clean and dry, lubricate it by inserting the lubricant into the keyhole.
Test the lock: Before using the lock, test it to ensure it functions smoothly.
