Description
Product Overview
American Grease Lock Lubricant (model LE4) is a 1 oz plastic bottle of graphite‑enhanced liquid grease formulated for mechanical lock applications. The formulation meets SAE J300 5W‑20 viscosity standards and is rated for continuous exposure to temperatures as high as 500°F, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Packaged in a compact 2.25 × 1.13 × 4.25 inch container, the product weighs only 1.6 oz, offering easy handling and precise application. Its graphite powder additive provides superior lubrication, reduces friction, and creates a protective film that resists rust, corrosion and moisture ingress.
Usage
This lubricant excels in a wide range of scenarios: residential door locks, padlocks, automotive lock cylinders, garage door mechanisms, and even specialty equipment such as bike headset bearings. Apply a small amount directly to the keyway or moving parts; the fluid penetrates tight tolerances and remains effective in cold winter conditions as well as hot engine compartments. Locksmiths and DIY enthusiasts appreciate its clean‑up‑free performance, while automotive technicians rely on it for quick lock‑up service during routine maintenance.

FAQ
Is this lubricant safe for use on electronic lock components?
Yes. The graphite‑based formula is non‑conductive and leaves no conductive residue, making it safe for electronic lock cylinders and keypad mechanisms.
How often should I reapply the lock lubricant?
For most residential locks, reapplication once or twice a year is sufficient. In harsh climates or high‑temperature applications, a quarterly check is recommended.
Can I use this product as a substitute for white lithium grease?
While it excels in lock and small‑mechanism lubrication, it is not intended for heavy‑load bearing applications where white lithium grease is specified. Use it primarily for lock, hinge and small moving parts.
Will the lubricant attract dust or grime over time?
No. The graphite particles create a dry, low‑adhesion film that resists dust accumulation, unlike silicone or oil‑based sprays.
What is the warranty coverage for this product?
American Grease offers a standard limited warranty covering manufacturing defects for the duration of the product’s shelf life. Refer to the packaging for specific terms.
