Default outdoor grease lubricant

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)?


I've been using industrial chain lube to lubricate anything exposed to
the weather. I get it at auto parts stores. ^_^
