A squeaky door can drive anyone crazy, but fixing it is usually fast, simple, and requires almost no tools. Whether the hinge needs lubrication or the pin is misaligned, you can silence the squeak in minutes.
What You Need
- Silicone spray or WD-40
- Cloth or rag
- Hammer + small nail (optional for hinge pin removal)
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Identify the Noisy Hinge
Slowly open and close the door to pinpoint where the noise is coming from. Most squeaks come from dry or dirty hinge pins.
2. Lubricate the Hinge
Spray the hinge lightly and wipe away any drips. Work the door back and forth to spread the lubricant.
3. Remove and Clean the Pin (if squeak continues)
Tap the hinge pin up with a nail and hammer, wipe it clean, then apply a thin coat of lubricant before reinserting it.
4. Tighten Loose Screws
Loose hinges can cause movement and noise—tighten all screws in the hinge plates.
Extra Tips
- Avoid using cooking oils—they attract dust and create buildup.
- If hinges are rusty, consider replacing them entirely.
