How it works

Identify the cause

We test the door swing and find whether the squeak is from a dry pin, a loose screw or a misaligned hinge leaf.

Clean and lubricate

We remove the hinge pin, clean off debris and apply the right lubricant before reinserting.

Adjust and tighten

We drive longer screws through any stripped holes, bend leaves to correct the swing and verify the door stays in any position it's placed.

We can help

Problems we fix

Squeaking from dry hinge pins that have never been lubricated

Hinge Lubrication & Adjustment — FAQ

What's the best lubricant for door hinges?

White lithium grease or 3-in-1 oil works well. Petroleum jelly is a good household option. Avoid WD-40 — it displaces moisture but evaporates quickly and doesn't provide lasting lubrication.
