I have been fighting stiff door latches for a while now. Finally pulled the first door off and took it all apart. Everything looks dry. Going to run the parts through a solvent tank tomorrow and get everything nice and clean.
the question come up with what should I lube the latch, door handle, etc. with? Being in Arizona nasty abrasive dust is a problem, so I am a little leary of grease as it will probably just collect the dust and make an abrasive goop. Graphite probably won't have the durability I am looking for. Probably wash off too quickly.
So any idea what I should lube the latch with? Don't want something that attracks dirt, want it to stay for a long time, not wash off, last a long time. Not very demaning am I?
