Stop Squeaky Doors with Cooking Spray

The Problem

A door squeaks every time it opens. Maddening at night with sleeping kids.

The Hack

Spray PAM directly into top of each hinge. Open and close a few times to work it in.

Why It Works

Food-grade lubricant penetrates the hinge pin, eliminating metal-on-metal friction.

Pro Tips

• Works as well as WD-40 and you already have it
• Wipe drips immediately
• Petroleum jelly lasts longer
• If squeak returns fast, hinge pin may be bent
