I had to oil up a latch on a wooden fence gate today and I decided to lubricate the latch mechanism with some wd-40. I was originally thinking of using some petroleum jelly for better longevity but after more thought, I thought this might make matters worst if it absorbs dirt. Am I correct in not using grease or is there a better grease for this outdoor job considering the blistering heat and rain (Texas)?
