Why didn't you lubricate your doors and windows?

I'm not doing it trough my back door, so there is no need for lub.

The squeaky hinge gets the grease. I actually do if I notice one is noisy. WD40 silicone lubricant, which is actually a lubricant unlike regular WD40. (Other products are available)

I already fit through without lube, thanks for the tip though.

Why should I make it easy for burglars to sneak in?

Oh shoot I forgot to do that literally ever.

I'm not sure how to do it. Seriously, the windows screech when I open and close them, but I've never taken the time to figure out how to disassemble them to clean and lube them. It's on my list of things I need to do. Also, I have two windows in my living room blocked off with panels, and I discovered last summer that one of them has a cracked pane, so I need to take care of that, too.

Doors are easy, and I take care of them so they don't squeak, and last year I repaired and painted the exterior door jambs.

EDIT: I searched and found a video on how to take apart my window, it's easy enough, once you know how.

@DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world

I just use a spray oil (micro oil? idk) on the rails and door hinges and sometimes on the key hole (rarely), it may be a not good option, but I do once a year and it always works. But I'm not a technician.

All of the lubricant was made in the Untied States by scientologists
