Often products do not work very good but I have found a wonderful product that really works. It is called Tri-Flow, a superior lubricant with teflon.
My motorhome steps use to squeak loudy every time it was stepped on. I could almost be anywhere in the RV park and knew when my wife left the motorhome or returned due to the squeaking steps. I sprayed them with the Tri-Flow and no more squeak.
I had put up with a door handle on the entry door for a year that was very hard to open. I was always having to open it for my wife and my grandkids could not open it. I'm a little slow sometimes, but my wife said one day, why don't you try spraying the door handle with the product you fixed the steps with. I had alreay conversed with Country Coach over the telephone and had resigned myself that I was going to have to order parts and take the door apart. Well, I sprayed it with the Tri-Flow and nothing happened immediately. I put motorhome in storage for a week and when I went to pick it up, WHOLLA! The door has now opened with one finger for the past 6 months.
Also tried it on a sticky door in my motorcycle workshop and fixed it immediately.
I love this product and thought I would just pass on the info. I don't know where you can buy it, I had a friend that owns a motorcycle shop that gave me a spray can of the Tri-Flow stating that it was one of the best products he has ever used.

WD 40 will work for a while but it isn't a lubricant, it's a water displacer, in fact the 40th formula they tried. Hence WD-40.

I have an old can of TriFlow that I bought years and years ago (probably 20 years ago by now). Just sprayed the door hinges and stops with it on the Jeep, no more noise. I used it on my guns for years too, in fact that was why I bought it originally.

Great lubricant. I like it for tapping holes in gummy material like aluminum.
