Finally I can sneak out without my back door sounding like 20 babys crying at the same time
haha! well congrats on getting out of the house
LOL, also good for sneaking out of the room while baby is sleeping. P.S. I prefer to coat the door pin in petroleum jelly.
I wanna get food at 3 am without my parents hearing
Ongggg me too brooo
same
I feel like the majority of people are here to slither out of their houses at night w/o getting caught by parents lmao
My parents slept like the dead. I came home one night and knocked over my dresser and they slept right through it
Lol all the doors in my house are squeeky
"Slither" HAHAHAHAHAHA
Or not wake up your kids
True
This is why I love the internet. I've pondered for YEARS about my squeaky hinges! Couple of clicks and here I am. Educated. Thankyou o.p. much appreciated.
Thank you Davey
yeah I just kept applying silicon. hinges get dirty. Duh!!!! many t. hanks :)
Thank you!! I kept asking my dad but it’s been months and figured why not start learning and doing things by myself. 1st video I click and very useful. Thanks again!
you are welcome!
Your the only person to come up with a working answer for my squeaking doors. I even tried grinding down the hinge pins thinking that was would do it. Until I saw your video about cleaning out the inside of the hinges. THANK YOU!
Glad to help..thanks for watching.
Wow this worked perfectly! All I did was spray febreeze on the hinges and then wiped it with a tissue. And it was pretty dirty. And when I tested it, it was silent than anything ever! Thank you for the video!
That;s great Bailey... and now your hinges probably smell nice too!
My 6 month old baby can now sleep without getting disturbed. Thank you so much for your guidance!
you are welcome and thank you for watching
@@flannelguydiy6458 wow look at you. You brought comfort to a 6 month old baby 👌
Who else is using this to sneak out if you don’t wanna do all this just use cooking oil just pour it on the things he’s taking out just pour and rub
you can just use cooking oil in your car too! lol
Lucid x Frosty lmao yes
@@flannelguydiy6458 you can use wd-40 also, a bunch of videos showcase both cooking oil, and wd40
I'm here to avoid making loud squeaky sounds while my mom is working and talking to clients hahah. Your vids are asmr-satisfying
wow,... ASMR satisfying? awesome... lol thank you!
*_I just swapped my brother's door with my squeaky one._*
whatever works! send your brother this video for his new squeaky door
Flannel Guy DIY nah I think the point was to have his brother go through what he went thorough lmao
BAHAHAH
Im going to use your method
tomorrow. These squeaky doors wake everyone up lol
let me know how it turns out David
Big true
So how did it turn out
@@luck-y3115 Oh snap i never replied! Its been a whole year lol! Turned out well- this techniue fixed it.
@@rhumbero89 lol
Thanks for the tip! I used the garage door lubricant for all the hinges and it worked
Wow, All I had to do was step one and it fixed the problem!! Used Windex - I will definitely take the pins out when I have more time and do the full shebang but what a relief not to hear that squeaking! Thank you so much!
thanks for watching
This did the trick. Now I don't have to worry about waking up my roommate with the squeaky door. Thanks!!
Thank you for this video, it worked like a charm for my problem door hinge issues. Nice and quiet, thank you
thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tip. I was going to use graphite but the garage door lube was easier to coat the whole pin and inside the hinge. The Q-tip with WD40 worked great also.
Thank you! This was super helpful, I kept waking my husband up during my multiple washroom trips now that I’m pregnant, but no more of that now!
thanks for watching Liz... remember to name the baby after me !
@@flannelguydiy6458 lol will do my friend!
Holy cow. I couldn’t take it anymore. Did everything you said and the door is completely quiet. I was sure I had to buy new hundreds or something. Thanks!
Thank you for this- I didn't even have to take the pins out, just cleaned up the hinges with some chlorox wipes and now they're as silent as they ever were
Glad that worked for you. I think you will find that if you do clean it all out by removing the pins, it will be silent for a much longer time.
Pallasite Matrix sameeee
Same!!
I will try this since I don’t have the tools to take out the pins.
I used a multi purpose wipe from dollarama or dollar tree and just wiped down the hinge and the area around it and BAM! Worked like a charm 👍 I know it won't last as long as taking the pin out and cleaning it but it will do for now.
Thanks for this awesome suggestion! 😄👍🙏
Just cleaning it fixed the problem. Thanks bro. I will definitely recommend this vid!
thank you!
Another great product to use is Stabil's rust stopper, penetrates, seals and lubricates or so it says. I use it to stop rust on under carriage of my truck during the winter months, shot it onto my front door hinges 2 years ago and no squeak since.
Kids who sneak out at 3 am to get food be like: Is there any way for me to thank you?
yeah they are all sending me food now
every one here is sneaking out apparently. I just wanna get in some very early morning gaming!
Thank you! We have older doors so this should hopefully work well for us.
Thanks for watching Rebecca
Thank you man! Helped fix my one apartment door that was being really annoying lol.
Worked like a charm. One door down 10 to go.
have fun !!
Simple and straight to the point. Plus, it worked like a charm. You just earned yourself a sub!
This video is great. Thank you!
Thank you this was clutch
Was going to use Wd-40 Lithium Spray but you convinced me
Thanks for sharing, gonna give this a go tomorrow!
let me know how it worked out for you
Hi there, I got a squeaky door it’s an old bastard too! I’m gonna fix the hell out of it tomorrow ❤️😊 thank you 🙏
how the hell did it go?
Thanks for this video! I need to stop waking up my husband in the morning!
that is a good reason to stop the squeaks
Excellent and Thank you!
Thank you!
Great video. I came here wondering if I need to do anything more than clean and lube the pins and hinges.
Like other commenters, I prefer graphite powder over the 3-in-1 product. That was old graphite powder that you cleaned off (starting at 0:26). I'll probably use stiffer round brush instead of Q-Tips, and I'll probably use mineral spirits instead of WD-40 -- but the principle is the same.
Thanks for making and posting this great video!
Great video, thanks!
thank you!
Thanks lol now, I'll be able to sneak out when my parents are asleep. Lol
perfect! now you also have to sneak back in before they wake up
@@flannelguydiy6458 edit: sooo turns out it worked and they didn't hear me leave. Noice✌👌
😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you!
Now that’s the way to do it! Good to see you back!
Thanks Dom... yeah I have been dealing with some things which prevented me from creating videos. I have two more in cue right now.
Thank you so much 😊 I tried this method and it works well. No more squeaky doors 🚪.
Sunny...glad to hear that! Thank you for watching
excited to try on my door! Thank u :)
Have fun!
We will try this because the squeaky sound is so annoying! Thank you!
Very educational. Thank you.
thank you for watching! please share the video for others to see
I bought a ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight. I know it's more labor intensive, but I throw the hinge pins and all hinge hardware in that cleaner. Works pretty well.
Very nice .. I'm from India.. Love it.. Will try it
Have fun!
The squeak of the hinges when I come out of my room stresses me out. For someone who likes to make little going around, this is quite helpful, so thanks!
thanks for watching! please share the video
Great tips!!
Stay connected friend
Thanks good video
ok quick solution I found just clean around the hinge dont know if it would last long but works!!!
Thanks man. When I went to clean my hinges with cue tips there was some NASTY shit in there. Now my door is silent as ever!
I am glad it worked out for you!
Great walk through. I'm old school and was always taught to use powdered graphite as the lubricant because any sort of oil or other liquid is inevitably going to attract and hold dust making the squeaks come back sooner. You have find powdered graphite at the home improvement store, most good hardware stores or Amazon. Another advantage of powdered graphite is that is is tredemous for lubricating locks. I put in new locka a while back and after about a year it took substantial force to turn the key. One or two sprays of the powdered graphite in the key hole and the locks have worked smoothly for probably five years now.
Thanks! Will try it out today, hopefully when my husband opens the bedroom door at midnight I won't loose my sleep 😴
I replaced all three hinges on my bedroom door and even with the new hinges I notice there still a squeaking creak and I notice the wooden jam trim moves a bit making the noise. How do I correct that and get rid of the creaking noise?.
Awesome video by the way.
what did you use for the "cleaning solution?"
Thank you
you are welcome Mo
I thought WD40 was made for that, or that Jigaloo one too, but that garage product is a really good idea, if it can handle garage door movement, it should indeed last way longuer. I just hope its around the same price and not 20$ lol, going to check this now.
The WD 40 is for cleaning and loosening metal parts. It really is not a lube and it dries out quickly. The garage door lube is what you need. Three years ago I recorded that video and the door still does not squeak.
The garage lube seems toxic. Would vasoline on a q-tip work?
nice job....
i like to use pipe cleaners instead of q-tips because they're longer and thicker if you fold them in half...Cheers!
thank you !!!!

Can I use a bait to hammer out the top of the hinges?
Thank you. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😄😄😄
breh...saved my life...my doors was hella squeaky.
Trying to be as close to no noise as possible in an apartment. Thank you.
thanks for watching!
I didn't use your method (no offense) but it did bring me to the idea that "Pallasite Matrix" suggested, so thank you 😄
What is the finishing pin you used to take the pin out? I clicked your Amazon link but it's not showing me the items, just my account
Here is a set of them.. amzn.to/3IHUInc
Everyone’s here to sneak out. I’m here so I can pee without getting noticed LATE AT NIGHT
I have a tip use WD-40 and sandpaper medium to fine grade. If you'd like to polish it use a wire brush to your drill and a wire/polishing pad for your bench grinder.

Hello! Same! 😤
Tks
thanks for watching
Everyone in the comments is so happy to fix their squeaky door hinges while I'm trying to figure out how to make mine squeaky again
Can i use bearing grease
I'm not a big fan of WD-40 and prefer not to buy it just for this. Are there other products that can substitute that I might already have?
The WD 40 for this application was just a de-greaser. You can use anything that can thin out the grease and dirt that may be inside of the hinge. Carb cleaner could work. Maybe even a heavy solution of dawn dish washing liquid and water.... although that would likely take you longer.
I used hair shining oil it works immediately
i wanted to take a dump but its 1am, and this is the exact problem with my bedroom door lmao
I hope everything came out alright...
@@flannelguydiy6458 It's all good, thanks for worrying though! I open the door quickly so the sound is gone quickly: I also fox walk which means I walk silently.
Whoever fitted the door has done it incorrectly.. Can see the pressure cracks in the door by the hinges . A pre pilot hole should be drilled before whizzing any screws in to relieve the pressure but other than that great video 👍
thanks for watching... prior owners
Do you have any tips for a door that pops when it open? Seems like the paint from the door jam sticks to the door and when I open the door it makes the noise. What is a good solution for this?
not sure what you mean by "pops" I would have to see it myself
my house was remodeled after it burned down, and literally as soon as we move back in, my BRAND NEW door is squeaky. it’s the only one and it’s been like that for two years now
now you can fix it !
Would butter work as well if I don't have lub?
Butter? really?
Mine did this from day 1, house was new, builder said they would fix.. lol never happened. I'll try this but not sure if it will help since it made the noise even when brand new, can't imagine it being due to being dirty
It is possible the hinges are not installed properly
I can finally go to the washroom at night without getting yelled at about it in the morning 😂
So I tried to get the pins out using the Same method you did but with a wrench and a nail, but the pin didn’t even seem to budge. Do you think that the top of the pin could be glued down to the hinge?
There is no way the pin is glued down. You are just somehow doing something wrong.
Flannel Guy DIY alright thanks I’ll see
Andrew Li some hinges are really hard to get out. I use a big nail or a nail set on the bottom and bang really hard with the hammer, *carefully*, until the pin comes loose.
Am I the only one not sneaking out? I’m doing thi because my food is just really annoying
I'm here because I'm a recent widow and I need to learn for myself. I know I could use any lubricant for a quick fix, but I wanted to learn a proper way so I'm not dealing with squeaky hinges 3 months from now. I never tried to sneak out of my house as a teen because my parents always meant what they said. Too bad there are people (I say "people" because it isn't just kids and teens trying to be sneaky) out there always trying to "sneak out".
@@jillstewart6582 ❤ ❤
Lithium grease works well too. You can buy non-toxic food grade grease.
I rarely have squeaky hinges and found the best and cheap way to fix it is to use olive oil.I cook with it so don't need to buy some expansive product to fix it.
whatever works for you!
Cooking oil does go rancid with time.
@@kimberlybagley616 I oiled my door hinge more then 7 years ago and still hear nothing from it.Not like I lick it.
That black dust is graphite power, the previous dry lube.
Edit: I'd probably use mineral spirits rather than waste WD-40 for cleaning, but I'll prolly just clean dry. WD-40 is not a lubricant.
The garage door cleaner is a dry lube, any other PTFE spray will work, However I might just go back to graphite powder as it's what they used when they built the house.
You must use graphite powder for locks, probably why theynuse it for hinges over PTFE.
So the bottom cap didn't have a hole to insert a punch?
I'm not sure when they started doing that or at what builder grade, but my door hardware is Stanley from the early 90s and has that. If you're in a hurry you can also take the grease gun and fire up some grease. It kinda pushes out the old stuff and dirt from the inside, but it is lazy and not as thorough.
for a temp fix just spray a ny cleaner on your hinges i used crep protect water repelent
My nocturnal ass: *Going for a 4AM snack*
My door: *Hellish screeching recorded from satan’s backyard*
Mine just took a good wipe, no need to take out the pins really
Well you can just wipe it or you can add some oil. However, that fix will last a very short time. When you remove the pins and clean everything out, it will stay quite for a very long time
Great video. I did it, and now I can't tell when my wife sneaks out at night.
What if you don't have those two things you used. The WD something and the other thing 😭
not sure what two things you are referring to.
@@flannelguydiy6458 the cleaning solution and the lubricant
Finally I can open a door without waking up my baby
I can help you to remove the door! lol
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing. My only feedback would be with a little editing you could easily reduce the length of this video by about half or more and still communicate all the relevant information. Especially if you had a little bit of superimposed text for product recommendations or lengths of time for each step. There is a lot of idle time that's all.
Yes... but youtube like that. It is a game that youtube forces us to play. Short and to the point videos unfortunately are not ranked as high. They want to keep people watching so more ads can run. Crazy right???
I'm so glad I don't live in a mansion.
if you did, you can probably afford to pay someone to do that
what about how to make a porch swing that squeeks?
probably eat fewer cheeseburgers... lol
My kitchen cabinet hinge cap at the bottom is so tight against the hinge that I am having difficulty grasping it with pliers. I tried to chisel at it with a flathead and hammer, but too tight for that. It also doesn't help that the screws holding the hinge to the cabinet wood is soft, so it strips when I barely apply pressure with a screw driver. I guess I need to order an extraction tool to get the hinge off, then I might have better luck getting the hinge cap off. *sigh*
if the hinge screws are pulling away from the soft wood then you have bigger problems which should be solved before dealing with squeakie hinges
@@flannelguydiy6458 The hinges aren't pulling away, it is flush against the wood. I meant that the two screws holding the hinge are getting stripped when I put a screwdriver to it (the metal of screw head seems to deteriorate against the screw driver if that makes sense).
😎👍👍👍
I wake up at like 3am trying to go pee but my dad is a super light sleeper and he’s got work tomorrow :|
Can anyone else actually smell the WD-40 as he sprays it into the bottle?
Damn i can smell it
