I have squeaking front and garage entrance door hinges in my house Ineed to spray with lubrication during the winter because it gets soloud. I used WD-40 a couple of times, but the irritating noise wouldcome back only after a few days.Someone told me to give silicone spray a try, so I might do that, butthought I'd pose a question in here to learn when using one over theother is better.Is metal on metal contact for WD-40 and the silicone spray foreverything else? Please clarify. Thanks!

WD-40 is not a lubricant. Silicone spray is excellent except you willhave great difficulty painting anything that has silicone residue onit.

WD-40 & Silicone Spray. When is one better over the other?

Don't know where you live but consider this: An armed man is a citizen; an unarmed man is a subject.

As James Madison said, "A government that does not trust its law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms is itself unworthy of trust".
