Previously I've lubricated plenty of door hinges by popping out the pin, putting a bit of petroleum jelly, and hammering out back in. This door goes to our garage, tho, and it seems to have different looking hinges.

I'm curious what's the best course of action. Is there a pin that can be easily removed like most interior doors, or do I need to do something different?

Thanks in advance to this new community!

That's a weird one! Can you press that little pin in and push from the bottom?

Nope, I started to look as disassembling, but as another commented said, these are pretty different. That pin it turns out goes all the way through, and the holes on the bottom let me poke all the way through. That means the inside is hollow! Looks like I'll avoid disassembling

Dude I think I found it. Look up spring hinge or Bommer spring hinge. Lots of videos for it.
