Door Latch Grease

[Ed in Maine]

A few weeks ago I was complaining that my Victoria was ruining my shirts with grease from the door striker plates and dovetails. I have found a good product. This door latch lubricant is called Door-Ease Lube Stik made by AGS Automotive Solutions. The lubricant is more like a heavy wax. It is a light vanilla color, not a dark messy grease. The lubricant is applied like it is a crayon. I also used a screw driver to apply the lube inside the dovetails. It works great and should not harm fabrics. Ed

It's called "Dri Lube" here. It's been about for many, many decades.

Vaseline work for me. It's clear, clean and you probably have some in the medicine cabinet.

Hi Ed, Thanks for the update. I have forgotten about Door-Ease. Thanks for the recommendation.

Kinda like the Chap Stick that I have used for years, always in my pocket...

Door-Ease works good on squeaky fan belts too. I used to use it a lot back when cars had v-belts, didn't know that it was still available.

Ace Hardware stores usually carry the sticks of Door Ease. My favorite
store, Mission Hardware has it. Stores are in San Gabriel & Glendora Ca.
OR...Order it online and it will be shipped to your local Ace.

Saw a guy use a dab of car wax on his hinges and door latch. Chap-stik, Carmex, soap from the motel all work too.
