Thanks for the advice. I’ve had some chain lube lying around for my
motorcycle no I’ve used it too. Excellent results. No more squeaking. I
wonder how long this lube will last?
Cool video. I have something similar it is called CORE made by Drummond and
it does exactly what yours does. Sprays on as a penetrating foam then cures
to a semi-greasy oil.
become a partner etc. and from there you get links that have a certain
ending that connects them to you. You have to wait 3months to make sure
there’s no returns etc. I haven’t made anything yet- just tying it out. Why
not right?
where can you get that brand??
And…. smell bad. (according to my woman- I like the smell : )
Chain lube also works well on roller shutter doors, stops them sticking but
does not do dust and dirt much. For the ultimate use fork lift chain lube,
thick like tar, but sticks like crazy.
Great info. thank you for sharing
sweet
Thanks Brian
tractor supply is a good place for decent chains of all type…
Nice! I have been using LPS 3 but your chain lube looks even better. The
thing I really don’t understand are the people who say that WD40 or some
other super thin penetrant is best for door hinges. Maybe best at making
them fail quicker?
I mostly use chain wax rather than lube, and it seems to work for my street
bike. But your illustration of similarity for door hinges is a great idea.
I’ll give it a try.
lol. I love Berryman!
No shame in making money..can’t do engineering without “stuff”. nvr seen
hinges like this before…Germans have a habit of making stuff too
complicated..bettya these cost big money to replace.
Sounds like the wire for it is shorted or melted together.
Perfect, I was looking for a solution for my squeak & grunt I am getting on
my 2004 E150 van doors. The WD40 works for about 1 month at a time. You
said it was not a commercial but I am going to buy a can ASAP. Thanks, I
love secrets that work!
WD-40 is more of a penetrating lubricant and has low viscosity, which
basically makes it not a great product for long lasting lubrication in the
spot you intended. Silicon lubes, lithium grease and others like it, are a
better suited lube for a hinge application.
I’ve had lasting results using plain old 30W (but I also don’t work on many
rust belt vehicles here in SoCal). In my experience, some door hinge
designs are much more inaccessible than they so appear, and can be
frustrating to successfully lube… I’ve discovered through the years that
if you also lift and lower the door through it’s hinge ‘slop’ arc while
opening/closing, it can greatly assist in lube penetration.
at Honda, we used white lithium grease, but it makes a mess and it gets all
dirty, i just use some spray lubricant
i use PAM like you use to cook’ It works great on our old trucks.
So why is this stuff better than WD-40?
i was actually going to ask you how to fix a squeaky door thanks.
Great job Brian. I would have never thought of using chain lube on my door.
Will have to try this out. I think I have the exact same lube. Thank you
Sir for sharing. Aloha

probably. grease doesnt get into all the tight areas. and it kinda rubs off
and gets dirty and falls away pretty fast. id say white lithium grease in
the can would work. as thats what i usually use myself. or even little
squirts of 30 wt motor oil…
i also use chain spray on door hinges .i hate it when ppl use that white
spray grease that jist goes hard .
QUESTION: Brian, 89 chevy 1500, 305 motor. I’ve noticed my temp guage is
stuck all the way in hot mode when the car is running or 8 hours cold. Any
ideas? Thanks.
Great video Brian I like the way you explained it it made a lot of sense
This reminds me of the Wurth HHS products. I use Wurth on car door hinges.
It penetrates excellently, and then once the carrier evaporates, it leaves
a thick grease like lubricant. Check out the UTube video at
watch?v=4kHme65zYLQ
people use the white lith cuz thats what the owners manual says lol
I bet it works great on rust as well, like pinchwelds I sprayed air filter
oil on a truck frame that had surface rust and a year later sitting out in
the weather it was still the same sealing the rust from getting worse. it
was $7.00 per can but your idea seems better.
I just use good ol motor oil, thats what the manuals have said to use for
years.
ive got bike Teflon super sticky sporting goods kind does the same and non
aerosol
“Germans are Fussy!” Now there’s a pearl of wisdom that I subscribe for
Brian….LOL
how long before u have to relube the door hinges?
hey Brian just wanted to thank you for all the detail really appreciate it
great video
i’ve been using honda chain lube for a few years on door hinges. how long
before u have to relube? does it work better than white lithium grease
(which i heard is what ur supposed to use)? thanx for the vid.
Good idea using the chain lube for that type of application. Probably would
work well in areas like a squeaky sway bar bushing, etc. It has the ability
to creep in, stay in and not damage the rubber long term.
Video reminded me of an OT story: Years ago I started dating a woman who’s
front door creaked like crazy. You could hear it way down the block. I
asked if she’d like it fixed and she said yes! I pulled the door down (got
a good tablespoon of rust/spooge out of the leaves), cleaned and lubed it
up with white grease, and all was perfect… till she called that night
demanding the squeak/s back as she couldn’t sleep in fear of someone
sneaking in. Actually turned out to be an ugly experience…
What will happen if i use WD40??
Ha! I use also chain lubes to do the same as you. Those WD40-type lubes
just don’t work at all compared to chain lubes. By the way, the product you
have linked in the description is NOT the same as you are showing in the
video. That new “super clean” version is much more stickier stuff, more
like those chain waxes that I personally don’t like at all. Plus the super
clean one is white colored, so it doesn’t look that good when you spray it
on the door hinges.
Well done, being as sticky as said , does it attract dirt and dust, or does
it dry to a non sticky surface ?
i want in on the 6 % revenue from amazon !
Thanks Baltazar!
It dries pretty quickly.
Oh I forgot to mention the one I got is around $20 or more as well, thank
god I got it for free.
