If the padlock is hard to open can I spray it with wd or apply some grease inside it?

Hi Salve I. I would not use grease inside your lock. Use graphite powder lubricant instead. You can find it at the hardware store in small tubes.WD-40 is a cleaner - not a lubricant. If particularly stubborn, you might use it. But it should be a last resort.If you can get the lock open, I'd try the graphite first.When the lock is thoroughly soaked after a rain, I close my eyes and blow as hard as I can at/around the dials, lock shackle, and any openings in the lock in an effort to get as much water out as possible. Canned air that they make for cleaning cameras and computers, or a compressor, is even better.After blowing out as much water or whatever out of the lock, then use graphite. Bill B. Hi Salve I.

Do not use wd40 as it polymerizes. Grease not. Graphited lock fluid is preferable. Jack

WD works great on that Sesamee I have sprayed it on the wheels and also inside the latching mech. First before the WD I would use a hair dryer to get all of the moisture out, then use the WD. Another trick, find a piece of leather from an old pocket book (or something like that ) and cover the padlock this will protect it from rain/ snow. I know in some cases you can't do this but if you can it helps a lot. I must have 50 of these locks thru-out our transmission system and these Sesamee are the best.

It is very tight to turn, but it will. Use some vice grips or pliers until it turns loose then spray some WD-40 on it. Mine is very tight and hard to turn every time I use it but it doesn't leak so I'm happy.

I see the wd40 solution here and its really not that complicated, clean it with a soft cloth, wipe it out and use a tiny bit of Burt's Bees wax, or chap stick to lubricate it. Just lightly rub it onto the nylon bearings with your finger. Works better, its easier and non toxic. I did my red ball about a year ago although Ive wiped it out several times since I still haven't had to re lubricate it. Now I need to replace mine because the left click is not responding well.

Put in a fake combination after you close and lock it. I really never had the problem you're having, but tricking it with a fake combo is the only way I can think to arm it. Then it seems you'd need to put in the correct combo to open it. Good luck. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer about a fix or replace ment.

WD40 is not a good solution for any mechanical parts as it is NOT a lubricant. It will eventually gum up and cause even more issues. Use a good 3 in 1 oil and you'll be golden.

Try thisPush down on the lid hardwhile you turn the keyThe safe has a rubber seal that can be tight preventing the lid from opening

No issues but then I always spray a tad of wd40 to all my locks to prevent rust and or freeze lock. Lock has proved well!

You have to pry off the plastic oval piece that is between the keypad and the round knob that you turn to open the safe. I used a sharp kitchen knife with a thin blade to slip behind the plastic piece. It will pry off.

Well, you could hold the lock insertion port open with a toothpick and get a small amount inside and make a mess of the rest of the door...the aerosol tip is not equipped to utilize the slender tube you find on a can of carb cleaner, so the short answer is no. I also use the small tube of dry graphite available at auto parts stores- snip the tip, insert, give a little squeeze, and voila.

There is no "safe" way to do this. don't use oil, or you may loose the locking all together. It is a stiff head, better suited for heavier equipment or to mount sliders, etc.

I have only had mine for two months. No problems so far. However, Most lock manufacturers recommend using graphite for lubrication, not WD40.

There are 4 grey circles on the front of the case around the key pad. These circles are the threaded rods which hold in the lock. If you can drill through them the lock will fall out. It will ruin the case. You could take a 3/4 drill bit and drill 3 holes in a row near the hinge side leaving very little spacing between them then use a sawzall to cut down the length of the case it will allow you to remove the door with a little muscle. There is no easy in/ a way to get in without destroying the case.

Put a little WD 40 on friction point. If it still doesn't release easily, you may need to use a screw driver. If the plate on the bottom is pinched too tight on the connecting rod. Pry it open a little. Tie a piece of string on the door. Us it to pull the door up. Always were leather gloves.

Apply lubricant to the O ring (silicon grease), and this should make it easier to put it back together

Put some silicone spray or "armor-all" on a rag and wipe down the inside of the holster. Then wipe dry. The holster will be perfect.
