Re: [DML] Door lock lubricant suggestions wanted

[Jeff Phillips <rvparty@xxxxxxxxx>]

I prefer the 3-in-One Oil that comes in the small tin cans.  I think
that it lubs better than WD40 and its not an aerosol meaning its
easier to control the quantity.  Any lub will work though, WD40 isn't
the best in my opinion.
