Door Hinge bolts - loctite
Folks,

Just wondering are people putting threadlocker on their hinge bolts ?

because....? They work loose? Never had that happen personally...

I assume that whatever I tighten I will have to undo one day. So I rather apply a spear of grease, unless it is a machinery fastener that calls for locktite.

Yep, sorry if they work loose.

Didn't want to finish the job and few months later read people put Loctite on them Rolling Eyes Laughing

A bigger concern is the light-fingered brigade remove the doors, which loctite won't stop. There are plenty of threads on here about how to reduce the risk.

I hear you, followed those threads and applied the hopeful awkwardness for them
