Well, I take your point on its potential conductivity, but I would consider 
it highly unlikely that sufficient could actually get inside to anywhere 
'electrical' enough to cause a problem, when treating an external hinge. 
Obviously, a degree of common sense would have to be applied, but perhaps I 
am assuming too much, as WD40 has already been tried ...  :-)  I notice that 
you have carefully removed the question mark that I had after the word 
"lubricant" which changes its context rather, from the 'possibility 
suggestion' intended, to a statement, which certainly wasn't intended.
