I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it… Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.

Am I alone here? It’s so satisfying to just glide open!

Edit: She followed up with: “you’re enjoying yourself too much”
Damn straight I am. It’s the little things you have to enjoy!

    Yes. Get a sticky oil with a thinning agent like Würth HHS - creeps into that crevice, then the thinner dries out and then that crevice will be well lubricated no matter what happens to it. And for some things like locks get a Teflon based dry lube, because those don’t attract dust to moving parts. Expensive but a bottle will last years.
