Are they held together by a screw or a rivet?

One pair have a screw and the other a rivet

WD40 should help

Question Author

Is WD40 oil? I don't like in the UK so don't know what it is.

Question Author

whoops.....correction....I don't live in the UK

got a smidge of engine oil there? Then a good wipe off

If you can't get WD40 I would use a small amount of cooking oil and make sure you wipe the excess off.

It can be something as simple as gum. Give them a good clean then lubricate the hinge.
