Hey everyone, we've been using the Regency I1200 for a few months now and it works great. Only real issue we're having is that the door has gotten quite noisy when we open/close it. The noise is coming from the hinges. Is there anything I can do to quiet it down? Anyone have any sugguestions?
 
Those little buttons on the hinges come off without removing the door. I have put a little oil down there to stop the squealing. I think the graphite is a good idea I never thought of.
 
Graphite lube... It's not affected by the heat. While you have it out, hit all the locks in the house and door. Don't forget the fishing reel.

I was just logging in to ask the same question about my Lopi Republic. I was thinking graphite, but wanted to confirm!

Im having the same problem with mine.
 
I use a few drops of cooking oil on the squeaky side handle of my Oslo.
 
+1 to graphite powder . . . cheap and it works well . . . in fact once you use the stuff you'll wonder why you didn't use it before . . . squirt a bit into your door locks and the house or car key will glide in like a hot knife through butter . . . and as mentioned works slick on metal to metal contacts.
