GustoferJust did mine an hour ago with WD40 lithium. Should be good for a year or so.

rizzleI use Wynns Viscotene, white lithium works too. Wynns goes on as a thin liquid then sets up, and it's clear. If the doors are really stiff, might want to hit them with WD 40 first.

comet24As others have side white lithium is the standard for car hinges. If they are dirty have grim on them clean then first. WD-40 is good for old grease and stuff off hinge then white lithium.

Great product and it comes in a spray can with the little red tube. Just for the sake of it, WD40 is not a lubricant. It will not do anything for high friction metal parts. Get some damn grease...savvy ?

egregoreA quick, non-exhaustive search didn't turn any up, but there are or used to be sticks of grease, like a grease pencil, for door hinges. Barring that, spray white lithium grease.
If your door hold-open detents have a plastic roller and this roller is broken or missing, no amount of lube will permanently fix it.

I learn something new every day! WD-40 stands for Water Displacement 40 (fortieth formula they tried I guess), and it isn't a very good lube, seems to work best to attract grit. However, apparently the company that came up with WD-40 also sells aerosol white lithium grease under the same brand name. Go figure!
