WD-40 silences them for months.

Robert,
Spray some water on a squeaky hinge. It will be silent for a while.

If it's not a lubricant, why does it makes squeaky hinges silent?

Jerry,
Not to worry...WD-40, the greatest hat trick San Diego has ever
fostered (not counting Dick Silberman or J. David Dominelli) is
composed of a light paraffin distillate, mineral spirits and
surfactants...a simple formulation that is easily reproduced and
now virtually obsolete. WD-40 is a testament to marketing, not
technology. People simply do not understand that WD-40 /_is
not_/ a lubricant; rather, it is a marginally successful water
displacing coating. As such, it creates a varnish over time and
that residual causes scores of problems with mechanisms over
time. On leather, one would run the risk of having the solution
penetrate, soften and compromise the substrate. Best to stay
away from WD-40. Buy the stock, though, we're an abundantly
stupid consumer society.
