Door hinges are designed for easy removal:
you just drive the pin upwards with a blunt
nail or any rod narrow enough to fit. So:
1. You can remove the pins and remove the
whole door; then sand any edges of either
hinge that shows signs of wear or scraping.
Grease with automobile hinge lubricant, then
reassemble.
2. When oiling from outside, mask the wood
before you spray the metal.

White lithium spray works for me. Open the door, and then spray from
the inside of the hinge.

Remove the pins from the hinges. Rub a bar of soap (don't wet it) on the
pins. Put the pins back and you're all set with no squeaks for a long
time.

parafin. Also clean and polish hinges and pins. Replace cheap rusty hindges
with good quality or even with new cheap ones. Even the cheap ones will go
quite a few years with no problems.
