squeaky door
Needs some oil
A squeaky door is one whose hinges produce a high-pitched sound when opened or closed, usually from friction, rust, or lack of lubrication.
The phrase often appears in the expression the squeaky door gets the oil—a variant of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"—meaning that those who complain or make noise receive attention.
