I've found WD-40 works real well on car and house door locks which are
sticking. Lasts for years.

When the WD40 official website says it's a lubricant...

WD40 website (http://www.wd40.com/Brands/wd40_product_info.html) material
follows:
Known as "the can with a thousand uses," WD-40 protects metal from rust and
corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture, and lubricates just
about anything. WD-40 is also great when it comes to cleaning grease, grime,
and other marks from most surfaces.
CLEANS: WD-40 gets under dirt, grime and grease to clean. It also dissolves
adhesives, allowing easy removal of labels, tape, stickers, and excess
bonding material.
DISPLACES MOISTURE: Because WD-40 displaces moisture, it quickly dries out
electrical systems to eliminate moisture-induced short circuits.
PENETRATES: WD-40 loosens rust-to-metal bonds and frees stuck, frozen or
rusted metal parts.
LUBRICATES: WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed and hold
firmly to all moving parts.
PROTECTS: WD-40 protects metal surfaces with corrosion-resistant
ingredients to shield against moisture and other corrosive elements.

As I understand it WD-40 is very similar to a light weight diesel fuel. I am
sure it is a petroleum based product. I would have expected it to have some
lubricating properties . Could you or someone on this list expand on this to
give me an idea of the WD-40 limitations.
