Graphite powder for door locks, [also house locks]. Does not attract dirt/sand which could jam the works. Aerosol white lithium is OK for hood hinges, except it's white and the hinges are black. I've also used regular ol' WD40 on the hinges without ill effects.
And the only stupid question is the one you're afraid to ask.
