Can anyone suggest a cold weather lubricant for the black plastic door stop on the 40 series?
Thanks,
Craig

W1ZN,
White lithium grease is a good cold weather choice. It can be had at any parts store. Get a small tube as a little goes a long way.

Thanks for the reply. I have applied this grease and it has improved the operation. During our cold snap -10 to -25 below zero F, the midpoint of the door open, is very tight, greased for ungreased.
Thanks,
Craig
