I had to clean out a number of jammed up locks that customers brought back where they sprayed silicone in them and it gummed up the works. You might get away with it, but I can't advise it. Stick with something that doesn't leave a sticky residue if you must go oil based. Preferably though stick to graphite. | |

Please expand on the logic behind your statement, it's kind of a straw man fallacy… it's like saying don't use water to wash your hands because you'll get wet. Maybe you used too much product? Anecdotal evidence suggests silicone works great. | |
