Check that the hinges are correctly aligned and that the screws are tightened securely. Ensure there are no obstructions. You may need to slightly adjust the hinge placement.
Hinge squeaks during operation
Apply a small amount of lubricating oil (e.g., silicone spray or WD-40) to the hinge pin. Work the door back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
