Lube for dorr innards

Stephen R. Conrad 7 March 2005 02:14:10
 The doors on my 92 XJ freeze up more than any other vehicle I've owned. I
guess I'll have to pull the inner panels and lubricate the latch and lock
linkages when the weather warms up. What is the best lube for this job. I've
got some T-9 around here somwhere. It's a liquid or spray water displacement
marine product that turns waxxy as it dries. Would this work?

 It will work for a while until the wax collects the dirt and jambs up the
pins in the cylinder WD40, cleans dry lubes and repels water.

 On door mechanism linkage, I just use white lithium grease in a spray can.

 Thanks for the replies. I should have made it clear that this is a street
only vehicle. It is not garaged. It is not only the lock innards that need
to be lubed but also apparently all the inner door handle linkages and pivot
points. Is there something about the contstruction of this vehicle that
makes it more prone to freeze ups? And I was also mistaken about the origin
of the Boeshield T9 product. It was originally developed by Boeing as an
aircraft lubricant. I have purchased it in marine stores, however. My
concern about using WD40 is possible detrimental effects on plastic/rubber
parts.

 I live in Canada....

The best is to clean all the linkages up with a solvent/cleaner/wat­er
displacer like WD40, then to use white lithium grease. It now comes in
a spray so it can get into all the little parts.

The best for the tumbler is bone dry and clean. I first use WD40 (a
water displacement fluid used to dry things like locks and ignition
wires and distributor cap innards) on the tumbler guts, then I use lock
de-icer spray after the WD40 has dried up. The de-icer spray is an
alcohol base that leaves the lock guts nice and dry and clean.

I have seen folks use graphite in the lock, but it is very messy and
still attracts dirt. Dry is best.
