Factory lubed with WD-40
"Lastly, I agree about WD-40 vs graphite. I haven't yet found a good method of delivering and metering in volume and I'm willing to do it the right way even if it's inefficient in the factory. The reason why we switched from our other lubricant was to temporarily relieve ourselves of the smell and residue left on the locks. We agree there is room for immediate improvement there. Do you have a brand to recommend? We are a regular factory with tool making capabilities and a production stamping and assembly facility. Commando is definitely not just a marketing arm or distributor. The things we learn now from the experts in the field will be put into our new products, so don't think this is the best it's going to get."
I told him I would post this and ask what we think would be a better solution. WD-40, graphite, some brand of dry film lubricant, there are many. And what would be a good delivery point/system?
There is the possibility of dunking cylinders/lock assemblies in a tank of lubricant during assembly, spraying/spritzing/dripping some via aerosol can/dripper in during assembly or inspection.
What are your guys thoughts?
