If you are a fan of horror flicks you’ll definitely recognize the creaking door sound effect as one of the hallmark sound  effects. It does give that nostalgic feeling of eeriness and does complement  horror flicks, though you can’t say the same when the same happens in your house. It’s annoying and gets irritating with repetition. This is often caused by a  faulty or an inappropriate door hinge. There are several types of hinges used depending on the door’s weight and size  or location of the door E.g. a bathroom door will most often have anti rust qualities which can only carry a light load since most bathroom doors  will be made out of composite or plastic materials to withstand moisture and water  better. While a hinge for your main door would be built with much more sturdier  materials such as thick stainless steel with anti corrosion treatments to hold  heavy wooden doors which can  withstand the outdoor elements.

You can get rid of hinges all together and  adopt a sliding door which the Japanese made so popular. They are a bit harder to install but they save valuable room  space, which is becoming a prime commodity in a vertical designed community.  i.e. condominiums, hotels, etc.
