GumOut Cleaner seems to be initially intended for Brakes and other auto parts. Is that the product you intend?

Thank you! GumOut worked well. (I was amused to realize I already had it in my shed for cleaning my lawn mowers carburetor.) In my situation the deadbolt wouldn't fully retract with the key any more, but I could push it the rest of the way with my finger. After removing the latch in step 3, I could turn the latch with a flat head screwdriver and find the place where it "sticks." After cleaning the latch out with a few sprays of GumOut and exercising it with a flat head screwdriver, the latch was working smoothly again. Thank you for the helpful guide!
