To fix a broken hinge, follow these steps:

  • First, remove the door and the hinge attached to the reinforcement
  • Then, drill welding holes in the area where the hinge reinforcement sits
  • Clamp or hold the hinge reinforcement in the original place and plug weld
  • Grind smooth, prime, paint, and rehang the door

  • First, tighten the hinge screws in both the door and the jamb
  • Use a screwdriver rather than a drill to avoid stripping the screw holes
