It is not really a good lubricant, has a very short effective life, and is not compatible with most other lubes. In a pinch, motor oil will work fine for all the items you mentioned, or 3-in-1 oil if you're in a really cold climate. LPS-1 will work, too, and it does not attract dirt like oil does. LPS-3 is too waxy for this purpose and is more of a protectant than a lube. LPS-2 is somewhere in between.
