When I open my habitation door it squeaks on the hinges, they look to have some rubber or plastic bushes on them, what is the best way to lubricate them, I was thinking WD40 oil, but not sure, also should I lubricate the garage door hinges and the external lockers. Cheers
 
Hi, I would use a white grease spray or a silicone spray not WD40, WD40 may affect the plastic washers in the hinge.













Urology nurses just take the pee.
 
I was told to use silicon spray for plastic and a lubricating oil for metal but never WD40... this after years of getting it totally wrong :eek:
 
If it squeaks, then you know that it's working, when it stops then you know it's fallen off (I used to have a mk2 Land Rover !!)
 
I would advise against silicon spray.

It may do the job but will very quickly be removed by water e.g. rain.
 
i use it on kid's slides,routers and sawbenches,sliding doors and locks in general , curtain tracks and blinds, hinges and zips- never without a can, no residue

As above posts,and if you ever use a grease for outside jobs then quicksilver 2-4-c water proof prop grease is best,its in a handy tube with cap.
 
A sqwert of wd will do no harm but should stop the squeak for a while , if it does stop you will know you have found the cause .do each hinge in turn to identify the culprit .
