Replace door hinge screws.

You test out the new hinges. Fix it the right way not the wrong way. With a screwdriver put the rest of the screws into the hinge and the holes. You unscrew the hinge screws from both the door jam and door.

Remove the screws for one of the hinges on both the door and the frame. Put the hinge in place and install the screws. You put on the new hinges with the screws that came with them. Screws that go through the jambs and solidly anchor into the framing.

The best way to beef them up is to replace the standard 3 4 in. Then bore out the stripped holes with a 3 8 inch diameter bit. Make sure the hinge folds together the same way as the door will close. If the door has a large hinge with four screw holes just drive 3 in.

Give the hole time to dry before you replace the screws and hinge. After it has dried get a new screw that is not stripped and screw it in the hole that was repaired. 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.

Remove the screws that hold the loose hinge leaf to the door jamb. The wrong way is a temporary fix not cool. Hinge screws with at least two 3 in.
