If you are one of those handy people and repair the hinge by yourself, here are some tips for you.
When drilling a pilot (starter) hole for a wood screw in a hinge, use a self-centring drill bit. They ensure a perfectly centred hole. If the hole isn’t centred the screw will go in crooked and leave the screw head a little protruded. This could prevent the door from shutting properly.
Use a dial calliper that probes to gauge the depth of the hole for pre-cutting a dowel filler. This way you don’t have to cut flush against the mortise or jamb.
If you have an automatic closer on your door, install a foot to hold it open or use a wedge at the floor. Do not place a wedge at the top corner of the door above the hinge, between the edge of the door and frame, as it will stress the screws in the top hinge and cause them to fail.
There is a file attachment that goes on the power drill. You can use this attachment to file down the head of the screw if it prevents the hinge from closing. This can be done with the screw in the door.
Warnings – Driving anything into the original screw hole(s) must be done very gently to avoid splitting the jamb. Light taps with a hammer until the glue just starts to squeeze out is sufficient.
