Stay away from >WD40(pet peeve), nowhere on the can will you find the word "lubricant". How about a spraycan of motorcycle chainlube? This should also be ideal for doorhinges etc. Just don't use one containing molybdenum disulfide...horrible black muck. DON"Y use it on locks, as it's a high-pressure grease suspended in thin penetrating solvent which penetrates cracks, carrying the dissolved grease with it, then evaporates to leave the grease behind.
