Still think it's better than WD-40 or some sort of oil that would attract little dust bunnies in there!
My brother is a locksmith and also says Graphite is his best salesman. Lots of calls to fix gummed up locks due to graphite powder. He uses TriFlow with Teflon to wash it out, its a lot better than WD40 which IMHO is better as an engine cleaner than a lubricant http://www.triflow.co.uk/
