Greetings, /diy/.

I have the problem.
Screws holding this door hinge just fell off.
Even if I screw them back in, they fall off almost immediately.
I think the wood this door frame made of is quite low-quality (cheap home, damn it).

What are my options here ?

1. fill the holes with something?
2. drill new holes in the hinge?
3. something else?

What would you recommend?

checking the catalog for 'door' first, be an idea.

fill holes and redo as per above, same principle, even though hinge and not door - those screws look mightily underproportioned for a door hinge as well, IMO.

or if you want to be a little daredevil epoxy fill the holes and tap them.

If is a hollow core door those hinges are ok. If it is a real wiod doir you need something longer.


To fix. Get some toothpicks or wood matches and wood glue.
Put glue on toothpick/matches andd jam them into the hole. The idea is to fill the hole up.

Let the glue dry.

Cut off the extra toothpick /matches and rehang the doorm

Longer screws but be careful. They will reach to the rough opening framing and you can really fuck up the door adjustment not to mention the trim alignment. Just run them in till they hold the hinge snug.

Fill holes with toothpicks and woodglue, let dry, use larger screws.

Also you could just move the hinges and drill new holes, its a little work but it's more of a proper fix than some wood glue
>>

drill holes larger
cut dowel rod
glue dowel into hole
drill new holes
screw on hinges
