Take it down to one of those garages, midas, autzone.....they usually have all sort of lubricating grease, spray & such....My hood latch wouldn't move so i took it down and they lubed it up, works great for me.

i used almost 1/4 a can of WD40 on my rear doors (it was the metal piece that connects the door to the frame, not the latches)......now their hella silent........

to keep it from squeeking again, make sure u open those doors every once in a while, even if u dont need to use them......that way keeps everything well moving and lubricated

Hate to bust anyone's bubble, but WD40 is only a bandaid. OK lubricant for temporary measures, but use real oil (penetrating oils work great to get to tight spots) or grease if you want the lubrication to last a while. WD40 will evaporate quickly compared to a quality lubricant.

....or you could clean the area with wd-40 and then use a grease or oil and everyone here would be happy!
