Squeaky door

Does anyone know how to resolve the problem of a loud squeaky door on the Surveyor Sport? I've tried lubricants with little success!!!

I lift the door slightly and liberally spray the hinges with silicone. Usually lasts about 6 months.

It IS a problem. I use WD 40 With Silicone (yellow can) and it works for a while. Going to try OC's advice to lift the door a little when spraying.

The problem w WD 40 is that it strips away any other lubricant that may be present.

Try a grease or bees wax.

I like white lithium grease on hinges.

Boeshield (made by Boeing) is great on aluminum to aluminum contact.

I tried lubricants and none worked. So I bought a hinge here RV Cargo and Entry Door Replacement Parts
It was pretty easy to install, just drill the rivets out and put in screws. I have a 2012 Blue Ridge 2145RT.
