My door getting heavier??
Just noticed that my front doors seem heavier... it's not smooth to open or close. Is there anything i could use to make it feel lighter and/or make it smooth?

thanks,
Tae

but wd-40 won't last that long...it's not really a lubricant.

it stopped the creak on my doors for about 2 weeks then it came back. i just used some lithium grease on it.

WD-40 is for breaking down rust. Like said above, it is not a lubricant. Make some bacon and use the grease from that.
