Hey, everybody, I finally got around to repairing that trunk lock that had me locked out in Red Wing, MN, and I have it apart in about 30 pieces on my table. After removing and cleaning, by way of a great how to link by bgkast, I'm ready to put it back together. There wasn't any mention of grease in bgkast's link. Can anybody tell me what the best grease (or oil) is for a lockset before I put the springs and blocks back in? It was a pretty gunked up mess, but it looks like there was some sort of grease\vasoline in there. I have spray silicone, dry graphite and 3 in 1 oil on hand, plus who knows what else. But can any one tell me what I need to lube it before I put it back together? The sooner I get it back together, the better. I have 10 small springs just waiting to get away. Thanks!! Lee
