Default Squeeking door hinges

Remove the hinge pins, one at a time, mount the pin in your favorite
electric drill. Use a fine grade steel wool or scotchbrite pad and
turn on the drill and clean the hinge pin top to bottom. Add a bit
of good lubricant and replace the pin. Repeat the process for the
remaining pins. Should take care of the problem.

If you have problems getting the pin(s) up, juse a 4 or 6 penny
finishing nail and drive the pin up until you can get a chisel or
screw driver under the head. Most hinges have a small hole in
the bottom of them.

Good Luck

My door hinges sqeek really bad. I've tried different stuff, always back
in a week or so. I don't want to use wd-40 all the time, the spray goes on
the door and trim and just doesn't last.
Any and all suggestions welcome.

TIA
