When I did mine, I took everything apart in the latch and lock mechanisms,
cleaned the old, dry grease by soaking the parts in a bucket of mineral
spirits and toothbrush action, and put new grease in.  I think I used some
little wooden sticks to jam new grease into some of the nooks and crannies.
I used white lithium grease throughout.  When I was done, the doors worked
*so* nicely.
