What you can do
- Move it slowly to locate the sound. Do not lift a heavy door off alone.
- If hinge lubrication is specified, clean the accessible point and apply a little approved lubricant, protecting the floor.
- Move the door and wipe excess away. Do not lubricate maintenance-free hinges.
How to tell whether it helped
It should move quietly without rubbing; silence alone does not correct a sagging door.
When to stop
Stop for loose hinges, sagging or frame damage. Refer shared or fire doors to the building manager.
How NAPREMO can help
NAPREMO can assess hinge condition and alignment. Tell us whether the door also rubs.
