Hi all

I have these hinges on all my internal doors

Over the years they have been gradually "leaking" some black oil
which we periodically clean off. One of the doors has now gone
very squeaky so looking to oil the hinges. Any idea what is best
to use and how to oil them? The tops and bottoms are covered so
can't squirt something in the top and work it around by opening
and closing the door.


If the hinges have ball bearings packed with grease I wonder how
effective any externally applied lubricant can be, and for how long. If
the listed hinges are an /exact/ matches I think I'd at least consider
replacement as the easiest option in the longer term.
