We were told that wd40 was the worst thing to use on hinges.

Buy some stainless steel hinges and replace the crap originals, fix with s/s screws then mask and spray to colour of van. No more trouble, I know, I've done it!!! (different locker door)
Cheers, Dave

Something like this might get things moving, so to speak. http://www.halfords.com/motoring/pa...l-treatment/halfords-shock-unlock-spray-400ml
If it works apply a proper oil from time to time. A cycle shop should have a chain oil for use in the wet which would be worth trying.

The ali hinges react to the steel pins and seize -They are usually riveted on so it's a case of drilling out then boil them in hot water to relise -coat them with copper slip type grease and reassemble either rivets or self tapers -WD MAY FREE THEM UP BUT IT ALSO REMOVES/CLEANS ANY OIL OR GREASE THAT IS NEEDED -sPRAY ON SILICON IS BEST FOR LUBING
