I have a question about the use of BILLY cabinets: Why do some BILLY doors start to squeak only after prolonged use? Initially, the doors open and close completely quietly, but after a few months or years, this annoying squeaking noise often occurs. What causes this? Is it related to the material, the installation, or certain mechanical components like the hinges? Are there preventive measures to avoid or fix the squeaking? I look forward to detailed explanations and practical tips.
Hey, it’s great to see such a professional exchange here! 🙂 I’ve also had BILLY cabinets at home for years and haven’t needed to maintain the hinges at all, but I really like the idea of using lubricant. I might try that soon if the squeaking returns! Thanks for the motivation and tips; it really encourages me to keep at it!

This effectively prevents the typical squeaking noise.
