spray white grease easy to get and works well.
wal-mart, autozone, napa, ace hardware, home depot, almost any autoparts or hardware store will have spray grease.
Squirt some ATF into the hinges. It will creep into the pivots and has a decent film strength.

I use the castrol spray chain lube. Gets in to all the cracks and crevices and leaves a good grease in the hinge.

Try cleaning the area first, THEN re-lubricating. Maybe a spray carb cleaner would be good for this if nothing else.
Old grease and rusty parts are bad to just spray new grease on.
White lithium grease (in a spray can) is what most will recommend.

Not a bad idea at all, Castrol chain lube.
A penetrating oil is best, Seafoam, liquid Wrench, PB Blaster,CRC.
The rust must be chased out and this will take time, several applications.
WD-40 is not even a true lubricant, I can't understand it, so many use it, with so few good results.
Any grease would be a messy waste of time, unless a zerk can be installed at the door pin...
