which lubricant to use for door locks?

[Kneale Brownson]

There are lubricants that look like generic white petroleum jelly (kind of
whitish opaque) that have significantly different properties.  For example,
the stuff inside the E-brake chamber on the rear calipers LOOKS like
petroleum jelly, but can take a whole lot more heat than petroleum jelly.

I use a penetrating spray lubricant that contains some teflon for keeping
my Audi door handles and locks functioning.  I coordinate spraying each
car's handles with paying my quarterly income taxes as a way of remembering
to do it.  (A "trick" for fellow old-timers)
