I had the same problem, and a smearing of WD40 on the rubber and in the lock worked for me!

Post by: Nosebolt on December 05, 2010, 04:28:19 PM: read some bad thing about WD40 lately, i know they have stopped using it at the restorer who's workshop i borrow. something about chemicals that make it work as a rust releaser can also accelerate corrosion in things like door lock if left in there.

take the above with a pinch of salt, its just one persons opinion

Post by: Panic mechanic! on December 05, 2010, 04:30:59 PM: :imwitstupid: thats why I suggested a silicone spray as the silicone just repels the water.

Post by: McGuire on December 05, 2010, 07:38:48 PM: Definitely Silicone spray! Used in the doorlocks repels superglue too (if you've got fun-loving cretins in the area!)
