Squeaky Springs/ Zip Dee Lube
Grateful for any help with with two issues.
The springs on the kitchen cabinets squeak like crazy when opened or closed, any suggestions on lube that will quiet this issue?
Also, is there a specific lube for the awning and instructions for the process?
Thanks,

Waking up this thread. Has lubing the springs been a solution for anybody. I can't take the gutwrenching squeak any more on these hinges!!
