are your Squeaky Cabinet so Noisy

Are your pantry door squeaks pretty much every time you open it. I tried lubricants, hinge-replacements and seemingly everything else there is, but nothing seemed to do the trick.

Until now.

These days, my pantry door is entirely squeak-free, and I'm happy to share my secret with you.
1. Apply Elmer's Slide-All Dry Spray Lubricant ($3) to each hinge on the door. Don't forget to wear a dust mask and gloves for protection, and to keep the area well-ventilated. Also, keep a dry rag handy to shield any lubricant drips from your hardware and countertop -- although the company claims the product won't leave an oily stain.

2. Be sure to apply the lubricant on both sides of the hinge: inside and out.

3. Open and close the door of the cabinet to allow the lubricant to penetrate all parts of the hinge.

4. Tighten all hinges with a screwdriver. This is an important step -- don't skip it!

Your cabinets should be squeak-free -- unless, of course, there's a mouse hiding in your pantry.
