Try one of the lock lubes at Ace Hardware or similar. HTH

I will second this suggestion but only add the latch does not particularly
need special lube. I (as a locksmith) use Triflow, as it is slick, clean
and lasts a long time, but anything from WD-40 to 3inOne oil or even a few
drops of the 10W40 you use in your car should solve the problem.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

I do not recommend using WD-40 to lubricate exterior locks if you live
someplace where it gets cold.
