How to fix a squeaky door (step-by-step)

Have you ever been woken up by the annoying sound of a squeaky door in the middle of the night? Or perhaps you're tired of hearing that high-pitched screech every time you enter a room? Well, fear not, for in this blog post, we'll guide you through the process of fixing a squeaky door in no time!
Step 1: Identify the source of the squeak
The first thing you need to do is find out which part of the door is causing the noise. Is it the hinges or the door itself? You can do this by opening and closing the door slowly while listening carefully to pinpoint the source of the squeak.
Step 2: Gather your materials
Once you've identified the source of the squeak, you'll need to gather the following materials:

• Lubricant (WD-40 or a silicone-based lubricant)
• Screwdriver (if you need to remove the door)
• Hammer (if you need to remove the hinge pins)
• Rag or cloth

Step 3: Apply lubricant to the hinges
If the squeak is coming from the hinges, you'll need to apply lubricant to the hinge pins. Start by removing the hinge pins using a screwdriver or a hammer, depending on the type of hinge. Once the pins are removed, apply lubricant to the pins and the hinge itself. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a rag or cloth.
Step 4: Lubricate the door
If the squeak is coming from the door itself, you'll need to apply lubricant to the door's contact points. Start by removing the door from its hinges. Once the door is removed, apply lubricant to the contact points where the door meets the door frame. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a rag or cloth.
Step 5: Reassemble the door
Once you've applied lubricant to the hinges or the door, it's time to put everything back together. Reattach the door to its hinges and make sure it's properly aligned. Test the door by opening and closing it a few times to make sure the squeak is gone.
