Fix stripped door hinge screws! thanks ZZem screw for sponsoring and supporting #repair #door
What happens here
For a "quick fix," simply attempt to re-drive the existing screws into the stripped holes. This method is often ineffective as the threads in the wood are already compromised, leading to immediate or rapid failure. The video demonstrates this method by showing the hinge pulling away from the frame after the screws are re-driven.
Goal: Temporarily re-secure the hinge by re-installing screws.
