Default Squeeking door hinges

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




Remove the pins from the hinges. Rub a bar of soap (don't wet it) on the
pins. Put the pins back and you're all set with no squeaks for a long
time.

parafin. Also clean and polish hinges and pins. Replace cheap rusty hindges
with good quality or even with new cheap ones. Even the cheap ones will go
quite a few years with no problems.
