Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter begins by identifying a common problem: stripped screw holes in door hinges, which causes the doors to become loose or fall off because the screws can no longer get any 'bite'. He introduces a simple solution involving a golf tee, Gorilla Glue, and a hammer. This method is effective for stripped holes in both the door jamb and the door itself, provided it is a solid door.

Goal: Understand the problem and prepare materials

Tools and materials

  • Hammer — Tapping the golf tee into the stripped hole
  • Golf Tee — To fill the stripped screw hole, providing new material for the screw to bite into
  • Gorilla Glue Gorilla Glue — To secure the golf tee inside the stripped hole

This is Chris, the at home painter. Got a quick and simple tip for you. And we've got some hinges on some doors that the screws are stripped, so the holes are too big now and they won't get any bite. So, the doors are actually falling off. And we use a simple method of using a golf tea, a simple little golf tea. Use some Gorilla Glue and a hammer and put some Gorilla Glue on the golf tea. You're going to drive it into that hole. Let it dry. And then once it's dry, then you can take and screw a screw into it. So, we just take our golf tea. We're going to dip it into our Gorilla Glue. Going to drive it in with a hammer. And then you'll snap the the excess golf tea off. It'll just break off pretty easily and it'll leave the wood inside the hole. And now the hole is actually filled up with wood and screw will bite to it. Again, this simple method will also work using wooden matches or actually toothpicks.
