Change the broken hinge on your doors
It is common that with the passage of time or with excess force, with an impact or even due to humidity conditions, the hinge found in a wooden door breaks in the part that is attached to it. Here we give you some tips to easily change the hinges that have broken on your wooden doors.
What do you need to change a hinge?
Before starting the process, it is important to have the necessary tools to be able to remove and place the new hinge. So, we will need new bolts, screws and screwdriver, paint, oil or lubricants and a meter .
They are tools that we usually have in our homes, so the process of changing the wooden door hinge is simple .
New hinge installation process
1. Observe the door opening direction . It is important to first identify which direction the door opens, whether to the right or to the left. This will make it one type of hinge or another.
2. Remove the door from the frame . The easiest way to remove the door from the frame is to open it at a 90º angle and lift it up. Once the door is removed, it is important to put materials such as cardboard or papers to prevent it from rubbing or hitting other furniture or walls.
3. Use the meter to measure the length of the hinge . It is important to take into account the separation that exists between the fixing points. The measurement must be the same in the new period.
4. Remove the screws from the broken pin . For the hinge to come out easily, both the screws that join the hinge to the door and those that join the hinge to the frame must be removed.
5. Place the new hinge . Place both parts of the hinge and screw it in the same place where the previous hinge was. It is advisable when incorporating the new hinge to add a little lubricant or oil so that it works better.
6. Replace the door . Do the reverse process of removing the door: place the door at 90º and carefully join both parts of the hinge.
When the door is removed, it is a good time to take advantage of carrying out the tasks that the door requires such as repairing it or painting it.
