What's a good door handle lube?

[FuerteStu]

I know Pocster will probably just say lube is for wimps, but my door handles are only 18 months on and starting to squeak a little. 

I think it's the lock rather than the handles, maybe a little of both. 

 

So what's best? Oil based? Silicone? Grease? Spray or tub? 

 

Cheers in advance

Graphite spray oil or powder is good for all things lock and handle related.

 

Lidl occasionally do a graphite spray.

As above, graphite spray is recommended for locks I believe as it's 'dry' once the carrier has evaporated so doesn't get gummed up with dust and crap.  I got some hideously expensive Interflon stuff, but only ever use it for locks/hinges/window mechanisms so it lasts OK.
