How to fix a stiff door handle

How to fix a stiff door handle

The mechanism here that the spindle goes into is very stiff on all of the doors in our house.

We are trying to replace the standard handle with round knob style handles to stop pets opening doors. The problem now is that the round knobs plus the stiff locks make the door I'm testing it on hard for the kids to open.

How would I go about loosening this kind of lock? WD40? If so where would it go on this kind of lock?
