Replace Noisy, Squeaky Garage Door Hinges in Just a Few Steps
Hearing squeaks and rattles from your garage door hinges every time you open and close it? Those worn out hinges could be the cause of all that racket. Replacing them is a straightforward DIY project that will get your door operating quietly again in no time.
Simply follow these noise-stopping steps:
Step 1: Support Your Garage Door While Replacing Hinges
- Place a block of wood or a few books under the door to hold it up
- This prevents the heavy door from crashing down in the middle of the project
Step 2: Remove the Old, Squeaky Hinge Hardware
- Unbolt the noisy hinge plates from the frame and door
- Grab a partner to help avoid over-twisting and strain
Step 3: Install the New Hinge Parts
- Bolt the new hinge plates in place of the old ones
- A cordless drill makes this much easier on your hands
Step 4: Align the Hinges
- Ensure the hinges interlock properly when closed
- Misalignment can lead to ongoing noise issues
Step 5: Lubricate the New Hinges
- Lube up the new hinges to prevent future squeaks
- Avoid WD40 as it attracts dirt
Step 6: Test Out Your Noise Reduction
- Remove the wood block and open/close the door a few times
- Do a little dance if the squeaking and rattling is gone
With a few new hinge parts, basic tools, and these simple steps, you’ll stop that annoying noise in no time. Now relax and enjoy the peace and quiet!
