I have squeaking front and garage entrance door hinges in my house I
need to spray with lubrication during the winter because it gets so

Someone told me to give silicone spray a try, so I might do that, but
thought I'd pose a question in here to learn when using one over the
other is better.

Is metal on metal contact for WD-40 and the silicone spray for
everything else? Please clarify. Thanks!

WD-40 will evaporate after a while. Better bet for longterm is
something like motorcycle or bicycle chainlube, which is like WD40 with
molybdenum in it, or some of the lock lube liquids, which are like WD40
with graphite. Frankly, for something as delicate and refined as a door
hinge, you can use crappy old 3-in-1 or probably Crisco.

I like the idea of White Lightning or equivalent
chain lube. I'll clean with WD and lube with chain
lube the next time I try something like this. I've
never used my chain lube for anything but bikes.
Just makes sense to try it on other projects.


Commenting on a 2006 post in 2014. Well, that
makes the next reply in 2022?

That said, I do believe that many products can be
used for other purposes. Coca Cola for vehicle
battery clamps, etc.

The only time I lubricated a garage door, I used
Remington Wonder Lube with Teflon. And in 2022,
I'll reveal why. Beg me, you fools!
