Solution #2: The Squeak Eliminator

So your door hinges have started squeaking again and now it is time for you to make a more lasting change to your door. To ensure long-lasting peace and quiet in your home, simply tap the hinge pin out of the hinge and coat the pin with white lithium grease. Once sufficiently coated, replace the pin and test the door. Your door should open and close silently! Lubricating both top and bottom hinges regularly can also help prevent squeaking.
