My cast iron door on my Regency air tight wood stove was screeching when opened or closed. I removed the door and used a graphite spray on the pins and the bases where the door contacts the base of the pins. I found it was "pin up"and the shiny metal pieces were just decorative caps, and not the head of the pin.
I posted this photo of the product once before. It's a Canadian company with the name Jigaloo. Yes, I know it's one letter from a bad word. They have a full line of spray lubricants. I'm pretty sure any other brand would work just as well. This one is good for 1000 F. My stove often operates at 500 F. Just don't spray it when there is a flame in the stove. It uses propane and butane as a carrier. It goes on wet and dries almost instantly.
The sound went away immediately and I almost slammed the door shut, it worked so well. I'll see how long it works. By the way Mr. Clean cleaning pads do a good job on the glass of the door.
Any other lubes out there that you have tried?
