Just ordered a six pack (5/27/24). Looking forward to installing.
Just curious since I got my GFC used, locks look clean but what’s best way to clean them out other than compressed air?
The biggest issue, which prompted the creation of the latch covers, is the freezing temperatures/snow here in Montana. Snow would get into the latch/lock and freeze everything up. I would also have issues where the “door” on the lock would get stuck open and allow ingress of water, snow, dirt.
To help keep things smooth, spraying some Tri-Flow or similar lubricant into the key hole will keep things from sticking up too bad. Won’t fix them from freezing in the snow, if you experience that type of weather, but will definitely keep the key smooth.

Thank you. I have a bunch of different lubes in my garage, not sure if I have a teflon based one. Wondering if silicon lube would work, or other types. I don’t want to add to any future issues. My main issue would be dust and then maybe rain/water. I don’t do a lot of camping in freezing temps and even when I do, it’s frost, not snow, so not too worried about freezing. Thank you!

Just got my covers from @Buhlockaye (thanks for the speedy turnaround). I haven’t had a spare minute to tackle the swap from the GFC ones, but these already feel more pliable, but just as sturdy.

You’re gonna love them plus Blake stands behind his product. Easily the best mod to the GFC when I owned it.
