Silencing the Squeaky Screen Door Spring

That door spring’s screech had been slowly driving me mad. What began as a faint squeak became a daily assault on my sanity. Every time the kids ran outside, the metallic wail would interrupt crucial work focus, or sabotage important Zoom calls and even ruin TV moments at the worst times. By the end, my body would tense before the sound even finished—jaw locked, shoulders tight.

The absurd part? The solution was in our garage the whole time. One glance at this repair challenge, and a five second spritz of WD-40 and a year’s worth of frustration and suffering... gone instantly.
