That works too. The Break Free CLP is actually a gun oil and rather than graphite it supposedly has Teflon. But as a gun oil it has to stay effective at very low and very high temperatures. Not all gun oils do this but for something like a lock work I find it to work very well
WesternPlains and Big Don Thank this. -
I realize this post is 2 years old. Yet I just saw this on youtube. Makes you wonder why companies feel we need to secure the loads with inferior locks
Only 1:37 to break it.SingingWolf, Lepton1 and tscottme Thank this. -
I just spray some WD-40 on it. It works year around. It doesn't freeze until -81 degrees. And if it's that cold, you have bigger problems than a stubborn lock.
SingingWolf Thanks this. -
SingingWolf Thanks this.

Of course I will tell you I don't keep locks for too long. Eventually some ### hole comes along and clips them off because he does not understand my unlocking is a sacred process.
Well more accurately, they call to tell me they need the locks off and I am sleeping on my only working ear so their call doesn't wake me up.
But for the life I keep my locks, WD40 has gotten the job done. Also fish love the smell of it. So if you are ever hungry and have a worm and some WD..tscottme and SingingWolf Thank this. -
I use a marine grade brass padlock, the #### thing is like three inches across. Never rust. It opened and shut every time without fail for over a decade. I might still have the #### thing on a shelf somewhere.
There is no point in relying on it, anyone can buzz saw into the trailer any old way and gone with the goods before I understand we been robbed. -
Locks are to slow them down. Slow them down enough. They give up.
I use one to stop BillyBob from fooling around back there. Even if I'm empty. -
OP mentioned expensive locks at $30. That's not expensive. Decent locks are over $100.
