When I bought my used Hawk a few months ago, I found the door and exterior compartment locks didn't operate well at all. The door lock seemed to need an extra jiggle as the key was turned. The water-fill door lock would only open on about every fifth or sixth re-insertion of the key. They were so bad I was sure the water-fill one would have to be replaced and maybe the door one too.
The interwebs seemed to warn me off graphite and I didn't want to use machine oil or WD-40 on locks exposed to so much dust and dirt. And I wanted it to work in extreme low temperatures.
I went with "Dupont Easy Entry Lock Lubricant with Teflon Fluoropolymer". I was surprised to find it resolved my lock problems immediately and they continue to operate very smoothly. Though I don't yet have long-term experience with it to be absolutely, positively sure, it appears to be a winner. I also used it to resolve a problem with my front door lock sticking and we use that one daily.

I bought mine at Lowe's but see they now show it as no longer available. Best bet would probably be Amazon if you're in need of a lock lube.

(I have no affiliation with the product. Just sayin' it worked great for me on my Hawk)
