At the church, there is a 45 minute rated fire door, with
closer and three hinges. Wood door. The hinges groan a bit,
make some kind of noise while the door is closing.

That's Satan, telling you he's there.

CY: I'm remembering the story of the little boy in sunday
school. The teacher asks where God lives. Little boy raises
his hand. Teacher calls on him. God lives in my house in the
bathroom. Teacher is puzzled. Little boy explains that this
morning, his Dad is banging on the door and hollering "My
God! My God! Are you still in there!" And some what related
to the story, the squeaky hinge at my church is on a
bathroom door.



I tried opening and closing the door, with my fingers
lightly touchng the hinge, and can't tell which of the
three
is making the noise. So, on principle, I dosed all three
hinges and the door closer pivots with WD-40, and that
didn't seem to help much.

That's Satan playing tricks. What's the name of that guy
when he
plays tricks?

CY: Barry?


Today, several days later, I return to the building. Spray
the hinges with brake cleaner, to flush out whatever old
lube was there. And then, spray the hinges with LPS-1,
leaving a non oily film. After the solvent flush, the
hinges
got noisier. And then the spray, and they went back to
about
the same noise level as when I started.

I havn't whacked the hinges with a hammer and screw driver
to check for removable pins. If they were, I'd pack in some
axle grease, and pound the pins back in.

What other ideas, for squeaky hinges? What works?

Pay your dues to Satan.

CY: Works for me. Shall I sacrifice virgins, or burn goats,
or maybe the flaming cross with plenty of citronella oil on
the parking lot of the church?

I had hoped to give some repair advice too, but you've got
me stumped.
You did what I would do.

CY: You want to bring a pentagram, and we'll have a seance?
