Default stiff door locks

my truck has 313000 km on it and the power locks are pretty stiff. when you push the button the lock button only moves a bit, but it doesnt actually go from locked to unlocked. what lube would you recommend and where would i apply said lube?

I have used white lithium grease in a can in the past. Can get it at any parts store.

used it on the actuators? so that involves taking off the door panels? also does the rear hatch have a power lock to it?
