Front door hinge "ping"

Post by Randy in Maine » Sat Apr 02, 2011 5:24 am

I can't find the post about getting rid of the "ping" that I hear when the door goes from fully open to closing. Can someone point me to to it?

Thanks!

I don't remember any post to that effect here. Basically, you need to lubricate the door stop and remove play in the pin at the door frame. That may necessitate drilling out the lever hole and the door frame hole to a pin the next size up.
