How do I fix a creaky door?

Answer 1

The WD-solution mentioned by others may work, but it can be messy and may not provide a long term cure.  For more lasting results:

Knock the hinge pin out using a punch or big (not huge) nail.

Clean the pin w/ steel wool or a fine sand paper.

Now wipe the dust & rust off of the pin w/ paint thinner.

Using a light grease, coat the inside of the hinge with a 'Q-Tip" and coat the hinge pin as well.

Tap the pin back in place w/ hammer.

Do one hinge & pin at a time, so that the door stays in place.

Answer 2

lubricate it with WD-40.  you can pick it up at hardware stores, and likely alot of grocery stores as well.

Answer 3

WD40,OR ANY TYPE OF LUBERACANTTHAT HAS AN OIL OR SILICONE BASE.

JUST SPRAY IT ON THE HINGES,IF YOU DON'T HAVE WD40,USE REG.COOKING OIL,OR PAM.TRUST ME IT WORKS

Answer 4

Spray WD-40 on the part that is creaky

Answer 5

If it is the hinge you need graphite, wd40 leaves a residue then you get dirt sticking to it. Remove the pin whatever you decide dont just apply it on the outside.

I'm a girl, so this might not be right... but I've seen my dad do it before.

You put WD-40 on the metal part. Or any other kind of product like WD-40. You could change the door too :)

WD-40 on the hinges...if you don't have any...get some vegetable oil or baby oil...even vaseline and that will work also!
