How To Repair Stripped Door Hinge Holes. Fix stripped wood screw holes.

What happens here

Once all the golf tees have been inserted and the excess removed, allow the Gorilla Glue to dry and cure for approximately one hour. This drying period is crucial for the glue to achieve its maximum bonding strength, transforming the golf tee into a durable wooden plug within the stripped hole. After the glue has fully dried, the door hinges can be reinstalled. Insert the original screws into the newly reinforced holes and tighten them securely. The screws will now have fresh, solid wood to bite into, effectively securing the door.

Goal: Secure the door with new screw holes
