BEST CD535 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the BEST CD535 graphite gun actually do, and what kind of lubricant does it apply?
The CD535 is a hand tool for applying flaked graphite into lock mechanisms. Graphite is a dry lubricant, so it penetrates the working parts of the lock and stays dry for the life of the lock instead of turning into a wet film that collects dust and grit. It is part of the BEST CD Series service equipment line used by lock technicians.
2) Can I use the graphite gun on locks that already have oil or spray lubricant in them?
Not without cleaning them out first. Degrease and clean any previously lubricated lockset before applying graphite, otherwise the flakes bind up in the old wet lubricant rather than coating the working parts. On a lock that has been hit with penetrating spray over the years, that cleaning step is the difference between the graphite helping and making the cylinder worse.
3) Is a graphite gun the right choice for a facility standardizing its lock maintenance program?
It suits facilities running a scheduled maintenance program on mechanical locks, which is why it shows up in commercial, institutional, healthcare, education and government service work. One tool covers every lock a technician touches on a route, and because graphite stays dry, service intervals stretch out compared to relubricating wet product. Schools, hospitals and government buildings with large keyed populations are the typical users.
4) Does the BEST CD535 come with a core or key blanks, or is it just the tool?
The CD535 is service equipment on its own, a graphite applicator only. It is not a core, a key machine, or a keying kit. If you are setting up a locksmith bench you order cores, blanks and keying tools separately.
5) Will the CD535 work on brands other than BEST locks?
Nothing about the tool ties it to one manufacturer. It dispenses flaked graphite into working lock parts, so it serves any mechanical pin tumbler lock or padlock a technician services, not just BEST small format interchangeable cores. It is sold as part of the BEST CD Series because that is the line it belongs to, not because of a fit restriction.
6) Why use dry graphite instead of a wet lock lubricant?
Wet lubricants stay tacky and pull in dust, dirt and metal filings, which is what eventually gums a cylinder and makes keys drag. Graphite goes in as flakes, penetrates the moving parts, and remains dry for the life of the lock, so there is no film for contamination to stick to. That is the whole reason locksmiths reach for a graphite gun on high traffic openings.
7) How many versions of the BEST CD535 graphite gun are there?
One. CD535 is a single configuration with no finish, size or capacity options to specify, so there is nothing to pick on the order beyond quantity.
