Hello everyone, I have a rather persistent question: How can I permanently fix a squeaking Ikea Metod kitchen door? The door squeaks every time it is opened and closed, especially at the hinge. I have already tried simple lubricants like WD-40 – which helped temporarily, but the problem quickly returns. Is there perhaps a more durable solution, maybe involving different materials or replacing certain parts? I would like to know how to address the underlying wear long-term without having to replace the entire door or the whole hinge. Thanks for your advice!

Remove hinges, clean, lubricate, and check for mechanical play. If everything is fine, reinstall. No special tools required.

For me, dry lubrication with PTFE spray lasted for several months. Then repeat – saves replacement and costs.

If the squeaking returns after lubrication, try placing a small felt washer between the hinge and the door. This reduces friction and noise.
