Replacing door hinges

Hinges themselves tend not to break - if they do, you can simply replace them. What is more likely is that the hinge plate will loosen through wear and tear. If this happens, you can re-fix the hinge above or below its existing position.

Tools and materials
Screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, drill, hinge-cutting bit

Unscrew the loosened hinge plate and remove it
Mark off a new position where you can get a firmer fixing, slightly lower in this case, and re-fix the plate
Measure off the new hinge position on the door using the new plate position as a guide

Use a hinge-cutting bit to drill out the recess for the new hinge position. Take care not to drill too deeply
Screw the hinge in place, making sure that it sits perfectly flush
Re-hang the door. The old hinge plate and hinge holes can be filled and painted if required
