I have been having a problem with the key sliding into the door lock on my DoKa. Now, my dad was a confirmed Graphite man, swore by and at it all his life. After rummaging about in the legacy junk pile some might call treasure (but not anyone I know), I found a bulbous rubber squirter with a thin needle like end. It still had some heft to it, so I knew it was not empty. In defiance of all my years of experience, I inserted the end of this tool and squirted what turned out to be a pink powdery substance into my lock. So, my question is, “What is this pink powder, and am I in trouble?” The powder seems sort-of slippery. Ed-91DoKa, now with a pink lock |
