Default Hinge squeak lube advice

Makes sense, to look for a wider gap. I'd not thought of
that. But, it makes sense after reading it.

Another point: You'll find that if you study the hinge very
carefully,
you'll see that the gaps between the hinge segments are
different.

The door-side rests on top of the frame-side, and they will
have worn down
together. This means that the /top/ of the /door-side/
segments will have a
larger gap than the bottom. That larger gap is where you
spray the white
grease.

After spraying, it will take several openings and closings
for the oil in
the grease to migrate out of the grease and disperse through
the hinge.
