Default door creak

Anyone else have this prob?

1st my drivers door, nowboth LH doors squeak excessively when the door is opened, less when closed. RH side OK currently. I had applied WD40 to the drivers to see if it would lessen the creak or squeal, but it didn't help, so I've become accustomed to it - until the other LH door began this about a month ago. I don't plan on selling it in the near future, but I know that if I wanted to, the doors would ruin the asking price. How to fix?

WD40 is only a cleaner. Try silicone spray or white lithium grease spray. Household oil should work also, but sprays are easier to get where you want it.

I know WD40 is a featherweight in the light oil game, but I figured it would do at least something & I would at least know that I had the trouble spot, & could apply a lubricating oil later. I'll try some household oil later today & hope it works.
