it says on the tin that it lubricates locks.
this is incorrect as it washes out the grease that is put on the moving components during manufacture. it is true that it will wash out any dust and shoite but over the long term it leaves the surfaces dry and causes damage, even causing the lock to fail.


keep on doing it guys as i get to replace them when they fail, i tell customers not to spray it on locks that i fit though.
try using one that leaves an oil on the parts 3-in-1 or gt55, much better.
 

For those who are curious as to why it is called WD-40 : :)

WD-40 is the trademark name of a widely-available water-displacing spray developed in 1953 by Norm Larsen, founder of the Rocket Chemical Company, San Diego, California. It was originally designed to repel water and prevent corrosion, and later was found to have numerous household uses.
WD-40 stands for "Water Displacement - 40th Attempt". Larsen was attempting to concoct a formula to prevent corrosion, by displacing the standing water that causes it. In the process, he arrived at a successful formula on his 40th attempt. WD-40 is primarily composed of various hydrocarbons.

Regarding the myth about it being made from fish oil, which isn't correct, here is the formulation.

WD-40's formula is a trade secret. The product is not patented in order to avoid completely disclosing its ingredients.[2] WD-40's main ingredients, according to U.S. Material Safety Data Sheet information, are:
The German version of the mandatory EU safety sheet lists the following safety-relevant ingredients:
It further lists flammability and effects to the human skin when repeatedly exposed to WD-40 as risks when using WD-40. Nitrile rubber gloves and safety glasses should be used. Water is unsuitable for extinguishing burning WD-40.
There is a popular, but incorrect, urban legend that the key ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil.[3] The WD-40 web site states that it is a petroleum based product [4]
