Editing How to Apply WD" 0 to Door Hinges



To apply WD-40 to door hinges, follow these simple steps:

1. Clean the Hinges: Use a clean cloth or rag to wipe away any dust, dirt, or debris from the hinge surface.

2. Spray WD-40: Hold the WD-40 can about 6-8 inches away from the hinges and spray a small amount onto the hinge pin and surrounding area. Avoid over-spraying and getting WD-40 on nearby surfaces.

3. Work the Hinges: Open and close the door several times to distribute the WD-40 throughout the hinge mechanism. Move the door back and forth to help the WD-40 penetrate into the crevices and loosen any dirt or debris.

4. Wipe Away Excess: Use a clean cloth or rag to wipe away any excess WD-40 from the hinge surface. This will prevent any buildup or dripping that could attract more dirt or debris.

5. Repeat if Necessary: If the door still squeaks or sticks after the initial application, repeat the process by spraying WD-40 and working the hinges until they move smoothly.

Note: WD-40 is a temporary fix for squeaky doors and should not be used as a substitute for proper maintenance of hinges. If your door continues to squeak or stick, consider replacing the hinges or calling a professional for help.
