WD40 is not a good solution in my opinion. I tend to use a white lithium grease myself and have had great luck with it. Spray it on and let it soak in, and in a short while wipe off any left on the surface. Good to check with another surface wipe a bit later. I use this for most hinges where the lubrication is not exposed.
For locks or sliding surfaces I often use a silicon lubricant which is dry after a bit.
