Hello everyone,
here in Leipzig, Eberhard really caused some damage. Since he shook our house quite a bit, we have a small problem. Our patio door squeaks — loudly and constantly. Even the slightest breeze now is enough to make it creak. The culprit seems to be the hinge in the top right corner. At least that’s where the noises come from.


White door hinge on the door frame in the corner, visible screws.



Is it possible to oil or grease something like this? Any tips?
If necessary, we have storm insurance. What would you do?

Storm damage. Called the carpenter. It will probably need to be replaced. It did not withstand the wind pressure.

Is there any visible damage?

If not: tighten the screw and apply WD40.

No, there’s nothing visible.

If it creaks, it is slightly warped.

Try using grease... maybe then it won’t stuck anymore.
