Reply to "Door hinge rework"

peterfenlonMember

I have just had my hinges re pinned.
Briefly trying to remove a pin myself, I took them to a pal who repairs very old motor cycles.
He took all day to do the job, heating up the castings, pressing out the old worn pins, reaming the hinges and turning new pins on his lathe.

A very good job, the new pins made to resemble the old ones, and an expensive day for me at £120 for the 4 hinges.

Old engineers find this stuff run of the mill whereas the newer breed seem to make so many reasons why it is going to be so expensive!
all this stuff about hardened pins is probably OK, but the shear strength of a mild steel 6"inch nail is four tons……… what does the door weigh???????
