Suggestions. People seem to use WD40 for everything. It is actually a commercial mold release compound. It is good for cleaning because it evaporates in a few days. Put some on glass and you will find it is gone in a matter of days.

The problem can be wear of the lock, settling of the home etc. The Villages offices are helpful.
They can likely tell you who made the original part, part #? as well as the people they use.
