door latch lube

My old 5ver has a door latch I can't keep lubed. The part I refer to is the pot metal latch that slides and goes into the strike plate/receiver. I can hit it with silicon spray and it stays lubed for a few days and then becomes hard to shut again without pulling the release handle to draw back the latch. I am loathe to grease it up as I suspect it would attract flies and goo balls of crud.

Any bright tips out there? (BTW I KNOW WHAT WD40 STANDS FOR AND DON'T WITH TO DISCUSS WD40).
