Front Door Hinge - Replacement

I'd appreciate some advice, please. Our (wood) front door is a decent quality in a wood frame, but the hinges have been installed incorrectly. The door and the frame are half rebated, and both the door and the frame have seals, so the draught proofing is excellent. But the hinges are of a type I've not seen before - one half screws into the frame, the other half into the door, and then the door hinges drop into the cup of the lower half.

My problem is that the three hinges are not perfectly aligned, and the door groans and whines when it's open and shut. I'd like to replace the existing hinges (please see photo) with something a bit sturdier and better - and get them all lined up.

Could someone please tell me what type of hinge I need to purchase (and also, because I'm curious) what the existing hinges are properly called (apart from "cr@p!)

PS Try as I might, I cannot get this bl**din photo round the right way - sorry. It should be 90 degrees anticlockwise

Thanks everso

Have you tried some WD-40 (just a suggestion) might alleviate some of the noise

Thanks, yes, I've tried that (and silicon spray) but the hinges are sufficiently out of alignment that it hardly makes a difference I'm afraid

It looks like a Munster Joinery door to me (similar to my own) and I found my own door had started to "groan" badly last year (after more than 10 years). I found some 3-1 or light machine oil did the trick, no more noise and the door closes smoothly. Light penetrating "oils" or sprays like silicone etc are not really lubricants as such and have a very short lived effect once they evaporate. Rub the oil well into the moving parts with your finger, ope and close the door a few times and wipe off the excess with a rag. It's probably more likely that the door has warped a little than the hinges are incorrectly fitted, but a little oil might help eliminate the noise.

Iirc Its a style of hinge that has small scope for adjustment once fitted and without snapping,but the door will lift directly out of the hinges once opened at 90 degrees. I would first try jacking up the door only 5/6 mm, and as jackofall said, some light oil directly on the pin and barrel. Should do the trick.

Many thanks guys. The centre hinge is definitely out of alignment. I'll do as suggested and properly oil the hinges.
