I've got an outdoor iron gate with a rather expensive commercial grade Schlage doorknob and lockset on it. Only a few years old. When it rains, it's a bummer trying to turn the key. Do I need to dissasemble it & bath the thing in gasoline to fix this? Will alcohol work? That's what I have handy. It's suitable for outdoor use. I tried the graphite powder once and WD40 with zero results last year. It was fine all summer (no rain) but is unbearable again.
