Hi,

You might try a little powdered graphite injected into the key slot. Never use oil in a lock it only eventually gums up the works. You might be able to find a little powdered graphite injector pen/tube at ypur local hardware store. I've used mine for many years with stubborn locks and it always works great.
Good luck!

I'm a locksmith in California. I recommend a oil spray called "TRI- Flow" available at your local Ace Hardware Store

Hi Joe, how are you doing? Were you able to solve your overheating problem for the TC Wagon?
