Interior door squeals and squeaks

No big deal except to my nerves.


The hinges on both interior doors squeal like a cat in ... well, sitting on the fence seeking companionship.


Lubed them with a couple different non-staining spray bombs. Still squeal. Removed them and they flop so badly they rwist when being installed and are also 'factory' bent. Trekwood want less then two uucks each plus $36.00 shipping. The $2 each for 6 hinges is acceptable. The shipping amount for about 6-8 ounces is extortion! Home Depot non mortise hinges are too thick. Mortising regular hinges on a standing door frame, difficult to do right. I've found some thin piano hinges and will give them a try.


Door latches join the chorus of swinging door 'music'. I'll be giving a pair of standard Kwik-Set passage door latches a try too.


Amazing the low end junk that these RV manufacturers tend to use - and it isn't just Thor/Keystone/Montana
