squeaky door hinges

This if my first post. My wife and I went to a RV show in Spokane, WA in January and discovered Intech campers. We were so impressed we searched and bought a used one (2021). We remember when we looked at the Terra at the RV show the bathroom and shower doors squeaked horribly. I attributed it to a show trailer and that did not have a chance to be dealer prepped. However, our trailer has the same squeaky door hinges. I've tried spray silicone which lasted about three days.

Anyone have experience with a solution to quiet these door hinges

I agree. If the dry silicone lubrication does not work, then the waxy lube is the next thing to try.

On standard door hinges I use gun oil on a Q-tip since the pin doesn't easily come out of mine.
Silicone spray (heavy duty) on piano hinges.

I would try Fluid Film just to see it that works. Fyi - Fluid Film is rated very high as a lubricant is why I would try it.

CRC Power Lube with PTFE works with most everything on my trailer from doors to slide out.

Squeaky door

I followed advice found elsewhere on the forum. Wrapped the striker post 3 - 4 times with electrical tape. WOW! No more squeak.

Thanks all for replying. I used Boeshield T-9 spray. I used to have a can of that around for my shop tools and completely forgot about it's capabilities. Got another can, sprayed the squeaking hinges and at last, quiet doors. Special thanks to 2cyber71!

That is kinda expensive stuff. Developed by Boeing so it has to be good.
