Replace Door Hinges Screws

Remove the screws for one of the hinges on both the door and the frame.

Replace door hinges screws.

Screws straight through the two holes toward the center of the door. Put the hinge in place and install the screws. Remove the hinge from the face frame and prepare the frame to receive new screws from the new hinges. You test out the new hinges everyone is happy well it s usually not that easy especially when it comes to a door that has been removed from the door jam and hinges multiple times.

Sometimes you might end up with this. 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. If the hinge and jamb are painted cut the paint around the leaf with a utility knife swing the leaf away from the jamb.

After it has dried get a new screw that is not stripped and screw it in the hole that was repaired. After you have done that put them in the hole that is stripped. Remove the screws that hold the loose hinge leaf to the door jamb. 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. Turn the new hinge with the head of the pin turned up. Make sure the hinge folds together the same way as the door will close.

Hinge screws with at least two 3 in. With a screwdriver put the rest of the screws into the hinge and the holes. Measure 3 4 above the old single screw hole and mark a line as well as 3 4 below. You put on the new hinges with the screws that came with them.
