Homeowner Operation and Maintenance
Hinges – You can remedy a squeaky door hinge by removing the hinge pin and applying a silicone lubricant to it. Avoid using oil, as it can gum up or attract dirt. Graphite works well as a lubricant but can create a gray smudge on the door or floor covering beneath the hinge if too much is applied.
Locks – Lubricate door locks with graphite or other waterproof lubricant. Avoid oil, as it will gum up.
It is sometimes necessary to adjust the strike plate location to allow proper engagement of the lock bolt and dead bolt.
Weather Stripping – Weather stripping and exterior door thresholds will require adjustment or replacement over time, in order to maintain an effective weather seal. Many exterior doors have an adjustable bottom threshold which can be raised or lowered to create the best balance between ease of operation and weather tightness. Replacements weather strips can be purchased at some home centers, or at 84 Lumber Company.
