How do you open a door without squeaking?

How do I stop my house from creaking?
A squeaky door hinge is a pretty common household problem—and one that’s totally fixable. Tap out the hinge pin with a hammer, then coat it with grease or a thick lubricant, such as petroleum jelly.

Why do doors squeak?
A squeaky door hinge is usually a result of a lack of lubrication in the hinge or build-up of dirt and dust. The high-pitched squeaking is the rubbing of metal surfaces of the hinge and hinge pin which creates friction and the all too familiar, aggravating sound.

When metal heats up, it expands; when the furnace stops pushing warm air through the system, the metal cools and contracts.
