    Hi all,

    This is probably the most bizarre questions to put into the public forums . But what the hell ... I was wondering has anyone ever soundproofed a Stira ?

    I have an attic conversion with a PC/Media room installed. My problem is when I open or shut the Stira door the bloody springs make so much noise they can wake the dead! :eek:.

    I've tried placing pipe insulation/foam around the high tension springs and it works somewhat for a while. Also in case you ask I have oiled the springs but it doesn't seem to do any good.

    I need a near silent open and shut for access without waking the sleeping family.

    I'm sure that (hopefully) someone has figured out how to silence the loud creaking of the tension springs ?


    Thanks all.
