Hi guys.

Usually what lubricant to use on door and gate joint?

White lithium grease? Or singer oil?

I was told wd40 is not good.

Thanks

Balance engine oil on your rack

silicon grease? white lithium grease?

Your answer is right there.

i use regular johnson baby oil.

metal to metal use lithium grease

but actually normal grease is the best for every application if you don't mind it dirty and ugly

Tq. But it looks like ermmm. Cake icing la. LoL

WD40 is the right choice.. for indoor
grease for outdoor gate if it expose to rain, becoz it would get wash off..

Just applying my common sense

Used engine oil.
Keep in a squeeze bottle.
Its free and effective.

I know but can't help it, use our fingers to really rub it in, haha. If it works it works.

WD40 no matter indoor or outdoor, it will dry out by itself, it's NOT a lubricant

if you want a lubricant that can stand rain, it's real original grease

I really don't think wd40 is the right choice. It's good for cleaning but in the long run it will cause rusting. So I was told

Yes. But how u apply it at the hard to reach corner and edges.

yes. but they dont dont come in spray application. cant reach tight corner

just spread some at the gate joint.

my door pulak just realize its the enclosed type...so cant spray anything.. spray some at the lock instead...

Anything with metal i use WD40, work like a charm 👍

for me, i use a brush
if u want to reach really tight spot, u got no choice other than lithium grease

wd40 for cleaning.. for long term, use silicone... lasts longer and minimal maintenance

U just drip it into the opening of those hinges and edges.
The oil will flow by itself to those hard to reach places.

Grease do not flow, oil does thats why i use it.
Although it does not last as long as grease it less troublesome to apply it effectively.
