Hi, Daft question but what is the best lubricant for internal squeaking door hinges? Is it just bog standard 3 in 1 oil or are some of the brands with silicone, etc, better? Also what is best for noisy garage door rails? Many thanks, Damian
For your door hinges just use some wd40 spray it onto the hinge and move the door back and forth not too sure about the garage door though
heeelllooo damain 30 the same answer as diy not "dont use "plumbers" silicon grease i fitted a pair of rising butt hinger for my brother we lubricated them with plumers silicon grease and the hinges where juddering and catching all over the place trying to pull the hinges off the door rather than rotate cleaned the grease off to allow me to de burr smooth or whatever was causing the problem hung the door to work out where it was binding and it rotated without a problem if you have a motorised garage door keep in mind the channels may need to be left grease free if the rubber wheels rely on friction to move the door" big all
Internal doors. Open the door up and rub the hinge joints with pencil. The lead(graphite) 'tis good. Wipe off the excess with a cloth. Mr. HandyAndy - really
Believe it or not washing up liquid works on internal door hinges and "her indoors" won't moan if any gets spilt on the carpet!
Believe it or not washing up liquid works on internal door hinges and "her indoors" won't moan if any gets spilt on the carpet! Yes she WILL moan. 'Cause it will pick up the iron filings(metal dust) and drip as a black oily substance(unless the hinges are brass of course). Mr. HandyAndy - really
With door fully open rub ball of hinge with candle and the same with door closed. No mess , no stained timber , no prob. Try it. Cheers!
shaving foam works and it doesn't run down the door like wd40 unlikely to have it in your toolbox though
