Replace Door Hinge Screws

Turn the new hinge with the head of the pin turned up.

Replace door hinge screws. Screws straight through the two holes toward the center of the door. You unscrew the hinge screws from both the door jam and door. Make sure the hinge folds together the same way as the door will close. The best way to beef them up is to replace the standard 3 4 in.

Replacing your door hinges is simple right. If the hole is stripped as well as the screw you can plug the hole with wood matches that are covered in glue. Give the hole time to dry before you replace the screws and hinge. If the door has a large hinge with four screw holes just drive 3 in.

You put on the new hinges with the screws that came with them. Fix it the right way not the wrong way. Screws that go through the jambs and solidly anchor into the framing. Remove the screws that hold the loose hinge leaf to the door jamb.

Put the hinge in place and install the screws. The wrong way is a temporary fix not cool. Then bore out the stripped holes with a 3 8 inch diameter bit. You test out the new hinges.

With a screwdriver put the rest of the screws into the hinge and the holes. After it has dried get a new screw that is not stripped and screw it in the hole that was repaired. You can also use a golf tee.
