Reply to doorknob is difficult to turn by HourOrganization4337

As stated you will have to take it apart. Actually I just did the same thing with my similar lock. I cleaned it with WD-40, then alcohol to remove the WD-40 (because it will stick when cold) and lubed it with graphite dry lube.

You will have to remove the bolt and clean that as well.

I think this is pretty simple, not a lot of intricate parts to deal with.

Good idea on the ventilation but I don't see any respirator.

Seriously should consider a respirator for any amount of welding our grinding. About $30-40 for a good, comfortable one and will last years with only filter replacement. You want one with nuisance level organic gas filtering.
