Hi guys.

Usually what lubricant to use on door and gate joint?

White lithium grease? Or singer oil?

I was told wd40 is not good.

Thanks

WD40 is the right choice.. for indoor
grease for outdoor gate if it expose to rain, becoz it would get wash off..

Just applying my common sense

I really don't think wd40 is the right choice. It's good for cleaning but in the long run it will cause rusting. So I was told

WD40 no matter indoor or outdoor, it will dry out by itself, it's NOT a lubricant

if you want a lubricant that can stand rain, it's real original grease

yes. but they dont dont come in spray application. cant reach tight corner
