Great video. I came here wondering if I need to do anything more than clean and lube the pins and hinges. Like other commenters, I prefer graphite powder over the 3-in-1 product. That was old graphite powder that you cleaned off (starting at 0:26). I'll probably use stiffer round brush instead of Q-Tips, and I'll probably use mineral spirits instead of WD-40 -- but the principle is the same. Thanks for making and posting this great video!
Another great product to use is Stabil's rust stopper, penetrates, seals and lubricates or so it says. I use it to stop rust on under carriage of my truck during the winter months, shot it onto my front door hinges 2 years ago and no squeak since.

Thanks for the tip. I was going to use graphite but the garage door lube was easier to coat the whole pin and inside the hinge. The Q-tip with WD40 worked great also.
Great walk through. I'm old school and was always taught to use powdered graphite as the lubricant because any sort of oil or other liquid is inevitably going to attract and hold dust making the squeaks come back sooner. You have find powdered graphite at the home improvement store, most good hardware stores or Amazon. Another advantage of powdered graphite is that is is tredemous for lubricating locks. I put in new locka a while back and after about a year it took substantial force to turn the key. One or two sprays of the powdered graphite in the key hole and the locks have worked smoothly for probably five years now.
ok quick solution I found just clean around the hinge dont know if it would last long but works!!!
The squeak of the hinges when I come out of my room stresses me out. For someone who likes to make little going around, this is quite helpful, so thanks!

The WD 40 is for cleaning and loosening metal parts. It really is not a lube and it dries out quickly. The garage door lube is what you need. Three years ago I recorded that video and the door still does not squeak.
nice job.... i like to use pipe cleaners instead of q-tips because they're longer and thicker if you fold them in half...Cheers!
Whoever fitted the door has done it incorrectly.. Can see the pressure cracks in the door by the hinges . A pre pilot hole should be drilled before whizzing any screws in to relieve the pressure but other than that great video 👍

That black dust is graphite power, the previous dry lube. Edit: I'd probably use mineral spirits rather than waste WD-40 for cleaning, but I'll prolly just clean dry. WD-40 is not a lubricant. The garage door cleaner is a dry lube, any other PTFE spray will work, However I might just go back to graphite powder as it's what they used when they built the house. You must use graphite powder for locks, probably why theynuse it for hinges over PTFE.

The WD 40 for this application was just a de-greaser. You can use anything that can thin out the grease and dirt that may be inside of the hinge. Carb cleaner could work. Maybe even a heavy solution of dawn dish washing liquid and water.... although that would likely take you longer.

Fluid Film stops rust and squeaks forever.
My kitchen cabinet hinge cap at the bottom is so tight against the hinge that I am having difficulty grasping it with pliers. I tried to chisel at it with a flathead and hammer, but too tight for that. It also doesn't help that the screws holding the hinge to the cabinet wood is soft, so it strips when I barely apply pressure with a screw driver. I guess I need to order an extraction tool to get the hinge off, then I might have better luck getting the hinge cap off. *sigh*
