Previously I've lubricated plenty of door hinges by popping out the pin, putting a bit of petroleum jelly, and hammering out back in. This door goes to our garage, tho, and it seems to have different looking hinges.

I'm curious what's the best course of action. Is there a pin that can be easily removed like most interior doors, or do I need to do something different?

Thanks in advance to this new community!

Thanks! I found some old "Liquid Wrench Powerful Penetrating Oil" in the toolbox. Looks like it has a spray nozzle. Do you think that would be good? I don't mind buying a new oil, or even using something from the kitchen (coconut?) as long as it's a good solution.

Thanks again!

“Penetrating oil” sounds like a WD 40 competitor, meaning a solvent rather than a lubricant. A lithium grease is what I use for that sort of thing, which I happen to use the WD40 version of (it’s a yellow and gray there, rather than red and blue).
