A squeaky door can be annoying, but fixing it is simple and fast. Here’s how to get it silent again.
Tools You’ll Need
WD-40, silicone spray, or household oil (like 3-in-1)
Rag or paper towel
Optional: Screwdriver
Step-by-Step Technique
1. Identify the culprit – Open and close the door to locate which hinge is squeaking.
2. Apply lubricant – Spray or dab oil onto the hinge pin.
3. Work it in – Open and close the door several times to let the lubricant spread.
4. Wipe excess – Use a rag to clean any drips.
5. Tighten screws if needed – Loose hinges can also creak, so tighten them with a screwdriver.
Pro Tip: For stubborn squeaks, remove the hinge pin, apply lubricant directly, and reinsert.
Your door should now swing quietly without any drama
