Creaking kitchen cabinet hinges are really annoying. You would want to have those being taken care of to the point that you do not mind buying a new set of kitchen cabinet. Such action is not necessarily needed since you can just do a little maintenance on the hinges of the cabinet and the creaking noise whenever you open or close the cabinet door will be gone. You do not need to even change the hinges if the damage is not that bad.
The creaking noise is usually made of rustic hinges that are already too long neglected. When the first installation, cabinet hinges are all clean, sharp and oiled well. That is why the new cabinet is always pleasant to open and makes no noises. Over time, dusts and other particles collect around the hinges and the oil wear offs gradually. Months or maybe years later the door starts to squack when opened and that is a normal thing for kitchen cabinet hinges as well as other hinges in other places. Now a good maintenance will make the creaking gone and your cabinet becomes pleasant to open and close again.
