NO

You want something that will not be oily or greasy as that will attract dust 
and dirt. The traditional lock lubricant is graphite powder, but there are some 
liquids with powdered graphite in them where the liquid carries the graphite in 
and then drys completely. These also work well, but you can buy straight 
graphite powder at the hardware store; it works well and is cheap.
