Hi, does anyone know which (if any) lubricant should be used on this part of the door mechanism?
I've tried lithium grease, copper grease and general purpose oil (one at a time) and if anything I've made it worse!

Worth checking that the roller that is sprung against the sprocket hasn’t seized. Mine needed a dose of WD to free. I tend to use a dry ptfe/silicone spray so It doesn’t accumulate dirt.
 
That could be the underlying issue.
Thanks for the advice.

Got into ours the other day and yep it squeaks.. it happened last year and the year before that etc..Seems like they just don’t like cold weather.

Prise off domed plastic cover, clean inside of roller, it should rotate when opening or closing door. I used wd40 to clean out crap then used silicone spray. Refit plastic cover, job done,
Great, I wasn't sure if the cap was removable or not. Thanks.
