The pins on the straps are prob worn,easy to replace, but try as above and spray some WD40 on them first

If it creaks but doesnt knock/click then yeah wd40 hinges but if it does then just whack a new pin in, 4 second job. Aslong as you dont drop the pin (mine rolled off down a drain)

look at the hinge and there is a little metal tube that runs down the middle holding them together... They are your pins
