Door hinge Repair

Very interesting. Does your knowledge know no boundaries?

Seems it would be easier to make the holes slightly oversize, then turn some new pins to fit.

That's an option. Slightly larger with 9mm pin would work - but now you're mixing inch & metric which can be annoying. Going larger for 3/8" pin... now you weakening the hinge. Everything's a compromise.

you certainly do some amazing things,,,and keep alot of us interested...i would have just drilled everything out and went to a larger pin...lol.bob

didnt notice other guys were thinking the same thing...bob

Two of the hinges were too far gone for the quick-and-dirty "One-Shot" knurling & reaming. I ended up drilling and reaming all of them for metric pins.
