dirty looks? no, dirty locks

I did NOT say I objected to locks or preferred pins.
Thanks all

Buy new locks..............OR pins.

if you don't like them, throw them away and buy some pins you seem to prefer. I would personally replace them with new locks. Your only talking about $20.

Hose it with brake cleaner then lubricate. I have one on my storage building and ironically, i lubricate it with blue dawn dish detergent every so often when i clean it up. has worked perfectly for 8+ years now.

Dealer put padlocks so no idiot can uncouple you as a joke.
you say they have been in use for years so what is your objection to investing in new locks?

Brake cleaner or contact cleaner will clean the junk out of them. Spray it in, let it sit for a moment or two and spray some more in. That will take every bit of lubricant out of them and they will probably rust easily inside after that. I usually re-lube them with silicone again. I do it every 2 - 3 years to most of my locks.

Wear goggles or safety glasses when trying to spray a cleaner into the small lock holes.
