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!

I would use a spray lubricant with silicone in it. A Teflon one will work too but Teflon is horrible for the environment so I avoid them. Something like this

Or you could use a gun oil and squirter a couple drops on it.
