Default Best lubricant for interior steel hinges?

One issue I came across on a shed was that the plate of the hinge flexed due
to the uneven surface one of the parts of the hinge was screwed to. Loosen
the screws and see if it stops, at least then you will know its getting
stiff due to deformation.

As the subject. All my doors squeak and squeal as though they are

various greases and oils, to no avail. In a very short time they are off

solution please?


then you'll likely find that no lube solves it. Unless you've been lubing
with something useless like WD40, in which case any real lubricant should
do. Any sort of mineral oil - baby oil (yes, babies are mineral), engine
oil, sewing machine oil, 3in1 or any other brand, any random leftover lube
oil, etc etc. Not vegetable oil, marge or wd40.
