Oil reduces friction between the moving parts of the door hinges, allowing them to move more freely. Over time, hinges can accumulate dirt and rust, making them stiff and difficult to operate. When oil is applied, it penetrates these areas, lubricating the surfaces and enabling smoother movement. This simple application can restore functionality to the door, making it much easier to open and close.
The door is hard to close because it may be misaligned, the hinges may be loose, or there could be an obstruction preventing it from shutting properly.
If a suburban door is hard to push open and can only be opened from the outside, it may indicate issues with the door's alignment, hinges, or the frame. Check for any obstructions or damage that could be causing the difficulty. Lubricating the hinges or adjusting the door's alignment may help. If the problem persists, consider consulting a professional for repairs.
honestly u have to rubits horn as hard vas you can until it gets sprayed by it's white Maonaze
I used a tennis ball with a hole, then put it on the lock and press as hard as I could. Do the same.Sometimes it may not work, keep trying!A2. You should make sure the fault is with the lock, and not with (say) worn door hinges.
G/C door hinges are one complete design fault. Any good wind will tear the door out of your hand and damage it against the front fender. The wind will also damage the really week hinges and make the door hard to open or shut I had this happen on my near new G/C Limited and I'm having No joy with Chrysler Australia who refuse to get back to me at all. My advise is DON'T buy a Jeep 'cause warranty is CRAP....Max

The door hinges are a weak point. The hinge pins and bushings wear out and cause the door to drop and close hard if at all. Start with replacing the hinge pins and bushings. Hinge pin kits are available at your local auto parts store. You'll need a special tool to R & R the door detent spring, they are cheap and it will keep you from busting your knuckles.
The job is really not too hard. With the door wide open and supported with blocks, un-bolt the hinge, and replace. It would be good to have someone help you as you might have to wiggle the door some to align it. Usually just have to replace the lower hinge. They wear and the door drops a little and hits the body. Normal for the crowns due to either poor quality parts, or the door is really heavy. Take your pick.
My door slam to hard.
i replaced mine and i had to first take my door off by unbolting the door from the hinges. the stock pin in their is tough to get out i had hit it out and then slide it out from the bottom. then i had to knock the cracked bushings out. then when that's all out you put your new bushings in the right places and the you have to mallet the new pin in, then after that i connected my door ( with some help their heavy) and now i don't have the sag or have to slam it really hard anymore.
Most likely the problem is not in the adjustment "stub" that the lock on. The problem usually lies in the hinge itself. I have shimmed out hinges to compensate for a slight amount of wear, but yours sounds like it's time to just replace the hinges. Then the door should close as it should. Not too hard, but you can pinch your fingers if not careful. Have fun.
Gate hinges are not hard to find and many home improvement stores such as Lowe's, Home Depot, Rona, etc. carry them. For a cheaper option, one can also find them on Kijiji or Craigslist.
