If your hinge pins are rusty, you might want to scrub your pins with steel wool. Take care when removing and returning the hinge pins; to avoid damaging the door or injuring yourself. If the hinge is squeaking, one pf the methods to make it stop will be to apply wax on the hinge pins.
Here is how to do it yourself. Purchase paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is common in candles, though you can find it in a raw form at many craft stores. Raw wax is white, odorless, and comes in small cubes or larger slabs. If you buy wax in a candle form, check the label to make sure you purchase paraffin wax. Beeswax can work as an alternative, though it is generally more rare. Old paraffin candles, even those with scents or colors, can be used to lubricate hinge pins.
Melt your candle wax over a stove or microwave. Paraffin wax’s melting point is generally around 284°F (140°C). Insert the pins in the the wax. Put the pins back into the hinge by wiggling them back in until stable enough to use your hammer and nail again. Open and close the doors several times to make sure that the squeaking is gone; and that your door is secure. If the door is still squeaky re-coat your door hinge with oil (after re-removing the hinge pins) until the squeaking stops.
Wipe down any excess oil. Because oil is a fluid lubricant, some might drip on your door. As this can cause staining, use a clean rag to wipe away any leftover oil. Reapply the oil as needed whenever your hinges resume squeaking.
Even though this is an easy fix, there might be another reason to your squeaky door, and you can call Fast Kitchener Locksmith Unit at any time to help.
