A noisy door can be incredibly frustrating, especially if it wakes people up or interrupts quiet moments. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with the loud slamming or creaky sounds. Here are some simple and effective tips to stop doors from making noise when they close.
1. Tighten the Door Hinges
Loose hinges can cause the door to move noisily when opened or closed.
How to fix it:
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws on the hinges.
If the screws are stripped, replace them with slightly longer ones to hold the hinge securely.
2. Lubricate the Hinges
A creaky door is often caused by dry or rusty hinges.
How to fix it:
Apply a few drops of WD-40, silicone spray, or even cooking oil to the hinges.
Open and close the door several times to distribute the lubricant.
Wipe off excess oil with a cloth.
3. Install Rubber Bumpers or Pads
Doors can make loud noises when they hit the frame or wall. Rubber bumpers can absorb the impact and reduce noise.
How to fix it:
Attach small adhesive rubber pads to the door frame where the door makes contact.
Alternatively, use felt pads or weather stripping for a similar effect.
4. Adjust the Door Closer (if applicable)
