Kyle, what I do with mine is drip a wazoo load of Mobil-1 down the keyhole,
wipe off the excess, then I put a big glob of silicons sealer on the keyhole.
I completely cover the keyhole to keep water and dirt out of the tumblers.
When you need to open the lock you can just pry off the silicone plug with
your thumbnail and there is the keyhole all nice and new looking. In salty
areas of the country this may need to be renewed every year or two though.

Subject: DML: Weatherproof Padlocks
Does anyone know where I can find a truely Waterproof/Weatherproof/Rustproof
padlock at???? I took my spare off of my truck today, cause it is going in
for repair from the accident. I couldnt get the spare tire lock open, cause
the key wouldnt go in! This is the 2nd so-called 'weatherproof' padlock I
had to cut off, cause it wouldnt open. I would really be screwed if I ever
had to take the lock off to change a flat and it wouldnt open.
