ᐅ Annoying Storm Damage to the Patio Door

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?

WD-40, massage it a little to get it working well

Hi,
Just have the window installer who fitted the windows take a look.

They are experienced and know what to do, and can fix everything.

Best regards, Birgit

I’m not familiar with WD40. However, my husband seems to know it. We’ll be testing it soon. 🙂

A neutral (household) oil should also work if you don’t have WD40.

Silicone spray is better. WD-40 tends to attract dirt.
