    Default Whats everyone using for lube these days?

    Mostly talking about interior and exterior doors here, but lets start a conversation about what you use to lube anything around the house. The world is our oyster for subject matter. :

    I tried some Liquid Wrench Dry Lube on my doors and it worked awesome for about a week now they squeak more than ever. I used t he same on my garage door hinges with the same result. My wife is getting after me to have a better solution because now everything squeaks so I figured I would ask what beyond recommends.

    Perhaps the recommendations for the bedroom should be in Ask Leo...

    Surprised this is even a question. Isn't WD-40 the standard in these things? Lay down some paper towels to catch the drip, spray it down, open and close it a bunch to get 'er in there, repeat in 5 years.

    WD-40 is a penetrant, not a lubricant

    But it does stop the squeaks no? I mean my house is like 20 years old now, and doors work, shit doesn't squeak. Surely I can't be doing it wrong?

    Contrary to the old adage, the squeeky wheel doesn't get the grease, it gets replaced.

    I've installed these on half the doors in my house, as the old ones start squeeking.

    How do those work? What I want is a friction hinge like you can get on RV doors where the door stays where it's left, at any degree of openness. Want that on the ensuite bathroom door, to leave it mostly closed, but a crack open for airflow.

    Nylon bushings, so there's no metal on metal contact.

    Oh probably, it's really only one door where I even care, and of course that's the door that swings wide open by itself.

    It stops the squeaks, but only temporarily since it's not designed to be a squeak stopper (whereas silicone lube is). Once you start getting into the habit of using silicone lube instead of WD-40, you'll never go back. Doesn't smell bad, dries out but still maintains lubrication, all around it's just... better.

    Use WD-40 to get rusty bolts unstuck.

    edit: WD-40 does make a silicone lubricant called "specialist" or something. I'm talking about OG WD-40 not being the best choice as lubricant.

    Well if 5-10 years per application is temporary, I'm good to go.

    I like the smell of WD-40 lol.
