The trouble with WD40 is the solvent in it tends to wash out any grease and then the oil attracts dirt which wears the mechanism. Try using a dry ptfe spray, this lubes without attracting dirt. My aerocatches have been perfect since being lubed with ptfe, i had the same problem as most have of the catches locking/jamming up.
