Door Hinges

I have hinges that are in decent shape. I dont want them to sag soon so should i grease them? If so what should i use.

Grease won't prevent sagging. Any water resistant lubricant should work fine. I spray it down along with my hood hinges once every month or two.

The only way to keep those gigantic slabs from sagging is to not let anyone sit on them
Grease may help the spring assembly though and keep the bushings from wearing out. A little lithium grease should do.

Spray them with white lithium grease.
