Yes, and a little effort goes a long way. The key is to stick to safe, homeowner friendly tasks and avoid anything involving springs or cables. Those parts store serious energy.
Simple homeowner steps

Lubrication helps, but only when used in the right places. Over lubricating can attract grit, and lubricating the wrong surfaces can cause slipping or messy buildup.
Generally appropriate to lubricate
Generally not recommended
Belvedere garages sometimes store beach gear, garden supplies, or paint. Those can add dust and airborne particles that stick to wet lubricant. A light, targeted approach is usually better than spraying everything that moves.
