Creaking UPVC door hinge

Wig
Wig Posts: 14,139 Forumite
Hi, I got a hinge that is very much like this one.

https://www.locksonline.co.uk/Window-Ware-100mm-UPVC-Door-Hinge.html

4 hinges on the door. The second one from bottom is the most noisy. REALLY noisy

What do I do?

I can guess:
Remove top and bottom plastic caps
Remove top and bottom screws
Undo Allenkey securing grub screw....

Tap out hinge pin (if necessary)

Assuming all of that is correct so far... what next?

Silicone spray on hinge pin and re-fit

Or what?

Thank you

By the way, what does the angle refer to? the 0°, 5°, 15°
Available to suit profiles with bevel angles of 0 (flat), 5 and 15. (means very little to me).

    Not sure about sorting your hinge problem out but if you watch the video on the link you posted around the 1.30 min mark it explains the angle situation. If you have the same hinges the angle is marked on it so if it needs replacing just order the same one :0)

    Have you tried a liberal, but careful, spray with WD40, just as things are with a rag behind the hinge to catch the over spray?

    Wd 40 is the worst thing you can use it strips all moisture of the moving parts grafite or silicon spray

    I have since found out that those screws are position adjuster screws, they only turn 90 degrees one way or 90 degrees the other way.

    Have you tried greasing it?
