I would use some sort of lube oil(not wd40) and oil the hinges a little. Wouldn't hurt to put a little on the bushings too.

Get a spray can of white lithium grease and spray the hinges and pivot points lightly. This is absolutely the right and best thing to use in my experience.

whats wrong with WD? If that and duct tape were taken off the market...I'd be in one heck of a fix!!! ;)

I usually spray silicone spray every few weeks. I just got a can to try it out and it's been over a week! So still waiting to see how it holds up. The part that usually squeaks/moans is the middle part of the door shell hinge that connects to the rolling wheel part(the part where it can hold the door at half way point or all the way open). No idea what it's called [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Astroglide works best for me [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]

White lithium grease like stated above... its a bit thicker then WD40 so it will last... SPray it in, work the door open and close and respray it.

WD40 worked great for me, it lasted about 6 months, door was starting to squeak a little about a week ago so i put some more on it.

I used WD40 on my squeeky hinges.

Although, through being an avid bicylist I have discovered using WD-40 as a lubricant is a big no no in the bicyle world. A silicone based lubricant is usually recommened for bicylces.

WD-40 actually displaces water (Water Displacment 40th attempt for you trivia buffs) which dries the parts out and can lead to corrosion is the reason I was told not to use it on a bicycle (chain, gears).

Maybe that is why some people recommended not to use wd-40 for your hinges. If I had something else I would have used it but wd-40 is what I had when the hinges were driving me crazy:)

it's what some people know as "old school" & reading the owners manual.

Use thick auto grease... it comes in tubes at Autozone. If you use something thinner it will seep down (due to gravity) and just run away. The grease will go away after a while, but it will take longer.

as stated above, you could just use motor oil, it works fine on the door hinges

Because WD-40 is more of a cleaner,,, spray it on some grease and see what happens.
