Lucky Line Graphite Dry Lock Lubricant Powder, 4.5 Grams (9501), Black and White

★★★★★ The Lucky Line Graphite Dry Lock Lubricant Powder is a simple but very effective product. It works great for keeping locks smooth and operating properly without leaving behind a greasy residue like traditional oils. It was easy to apply, and I noticed an improvement in stiff or hard-to-turn locks. I like that it’s clean, convenient, and a small amount goes a long way. It’s a great item to keep around the house, garage, or toolbox for regular maintenance. The quality is excellent, and I’m very satisfied with how well it works. I would definitely recommend it.

Very happy! Received early and works great

It’s graphite flakes in a tube. You sort of have to tap or “puff” them out so it can be difficult to get them in the correct place, but there’s not really a better way to dispense graphite powder. I wish the flakes were a little finer, as I was using them to lubricate the nut slots on musical instruments, and it was hard to get the flakes into the narrow slots. It’s probably about the same coarseness as table salt. But it worked and I have plenty left for door hinges or whatever.

Standard. Works good.

I picked up the Lucky Line Graphite Dry Lock Lubricant Powder to fix a sticky lock on my front door, and it worked like a charm. The 4.5-gram bottle is compact but contains more than enough powder to last through multiple uses. A little bit goes a long way! The application is super easy—just a quick puff of powder into the lock, and within seconds, the key turns smoothly. No more struggling or jamming! What I love about this product is that it doesn’t leave any messy oil residue like liquid lubricants do, so there’s no risk of attracting dirt or gunk that could cause future problems. This graphite lubricant is perfect not only for door locks but also for padlocks, car locks, or any mechanism that needs to stay free-moving. I’ve even used it on some older keys that weren’t gliding smoothly in the lock, and it made a noticeable difference. If you’re dealing with stubborn locks, the Lucky Line Graphite Powder is an inexpensive, effective fix. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to extend the life of their locks and make key-turning effortless!

If you are a parent involved in Cub Scouts or any amateur racing hobby that requires a dry, slick lubricant, this Lucky Line Graphite Powder is an absolute game-changer. While it's marketed for locks, its true magic lies in optimizing Pinewood Derby car performance. We used this lubricant on our son's derby car axles, and the results were incredible. The graphite powder is ultra-fine and applies easily with minimal mess (a quick puff is all you need). It dramatically reduces friction, allowing the wheels to spin with unprecedented freedom and speed. Our car was noticeably faster and quieter on the track compared to previous years when we relied on less effective options. This lubricant does exactly what it promises, creating an incredibly slick, dry surface that doesn't gum up or attract dirt. It's an absolute must-have for any serious Pinewood Derby competitor looking for a competitive edge. Skip the messy oils and go straight for the gold with this graphite powder—it works perfectly. Highly recommended!

Wouldn’t know what to do without this product. I live in an old school building, converted into condos with several doors that need periodic servicing. The graphite powder comes in extremely handy.

Didn't even think to read reviews for a $5 tube of graphite powder before buying. How can anyone screw that up? Now I see that others have drawn the same conclusion. For one, it's not powder, more like flakes. Too coarse to even come out of the tube, much less get it into a tight space like a keyed lock. Only consolation is AMZ refunded without return. Cut a bigger hole in the tube and you could use it for something, maybe? Still won't be able to use it for its stated purpose (a lock), unless you disassemble.

This works by puffing, shake it first, then hold it up right for the large graphite dust to settle then downards and squeeze the tube multiple times. Be careful of the dust, it's worse than ink when cleaning.
