Called my grandfather to come out with a light and some penetrating oil and silicone spray, there is a bottom roller with a spring and it was seized.

You can buy Rustcheck in a spray can with the long tapered nozzle. I use this on all my vehicles for locks, latches, hinges etc. Works mint and never gets gummy over time like alot of lubricants do.
