Squeaky Door hinges

Our bighorn bathroom, bedroom and pantry doors are all squeaking badly. Are the hinges removable for lubing and if so, how? They seem to have heads on both the top and bottom of the hinges. If they can't be removed is there some other way to lube?

Silicone spray/with Teflon. I found, along with a number of others who used to use WD40 on guns that it hardens into a shellac that freezes things to each other. WD40 is generally considered a degreaser and not a lubricant. Ever wonder why they say to use it to remove oil stains from something, usually your driveway?

From a site on why WD40 is not a lub
"WD-40 isn't actually a true lubricant. WD stands for "water displacing" and its main use is as a solvent or rust dissolver.

The lubricant-like properties of WD-40 come not from the substance itself, but from dissolving components. And the effect doesn't last.
WD-40 can be a good substance to start with — it can help clean up rust or other grime. But depending on what you're working with, you should probably follow up WD-40 with use of a true lubricant such as one based on silicone, grease, Teflon, or graphite."
