My door hinges sqeek really bad. I've tried different stuff, always back in
a week or so. I don't want to use wd-40 all the time, the spray goes on the
door and trim and just doesn't last.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
TIA

Use a real lubricant? 3 in 1, DuraLube, LiquidWrench, heck even a drop of motor
oil. Any of those "real" lubricants will do much better than WD-40 which is
better at cleaning really than anything else.

If there are 3 hinges, that can be an indication that the door is
mounted improperly and the hinges are out of line. Nothing to do but
pull the nails along that side of the frame and reshim the door.
Or shim the hinges with pieces of cardboard until they line up.

As one poster pointed out, make sure the hinges are in line -- shim as
needed. Then, remove the hinge pins one at a time and LIGHTLY grease
with a LITTLE non-migrating grease, like "white lube." Put the pins
back in, and that should do the trick. WD-40 is basically kerosene, and
is good to loosen things up, but is not a long-term lubricant. Regular
oils will bleed all over the place, though a single drop or two usually
shouldn't be a problem. I've had better results with the grease
approach.

Tap the top of the hinge with a hammer.
