Hey Paul, great tip...never thought of that. My wife married me because of my health insurance and I can fix stuff. I amaze her anytime I fix something. Wait until I go fix the swinging door in our laundry room with this tip...don't tell her where I get my tips from!!!
Hey Big John, how are you doing buddy? Every time I see your avatar on your channel I get jealous..LOL! I love to fish but never have the time.....ONE DAY.. P.S. I'll try to keep the tips on the down low. Have a great weekend my friend!
Very useful information. I just really like your style of work ethic. You are truly my “Go To Guy” for any issues I have at any of the properties I manage. Thank you, Paul!!!
Thank you Zen, I really appreciate you taking the time for me!
Have a great weekend!
Saw a bunch of whacky ideas before this video... this was the only one that worked!! Thank you so much! Great explanation on the video too
Thanks for the tips. Looking forward to the video where you get that jam backinto plumb
Another great video Paul! Great tips. My wife wishes you would quit feeding my tool addiction and that stand clamp isn't gonna make her happy lol!
I have bent my hinges for a while now, but I did not know about the wire. Thanks for the tip.
Paul is always to the rescue! Thanks man!
@Jaden Solomon I don’t watch movies.
@Benson Terrance why are you talking about movies on a repair video? That’s why I don’t watch movies because they make you do weird stuff. I’ll never watch another movie again after seeing this behavior you are showing.
sir...your tips always amaze me...thanks for making this video....appreciate it
Very nice and professional video. Very well done. I actually have this exact problem with 2 doors and have solved one of them with the bent hinge pin that you demonstrate. My other one is a solid steel door with roller bearing hinges (the metal front door of our house) that the former owner installed. Have been thinking about something along the lines of your first solution to create extra friction on that front door, but with the roller bearings I'm not sure there's any way to create enough friction on the planet to keep it from swinging wide open every time and hitting whatever is there. Even installed those stops to prevent crashing into furniture but problem is it still stays open. I have tried to replace the hinges with non-roller bearing ones but the screw hole pattern is always different and the door is metal and I just don't have the diy skills to drill holes in a metal door. Any ideas besides hiring a pro and spending big bucks? I just realized the roller bearing barrels are on the jamb and not the door. I guess I could try breaking apart a new hinge of the same height and color (oiled bronze, 4") but I almost think I tried that and I couldn't get the 2 hinge pieces together in any aesthetic way because the barrel openings are different on the roller bearing side. Any ideas at all? Would self-closing hinges be a possible answer? Do they even make them in an shape that doesn't scream industrial? Thanks so much. Only if you have time.
I'm doing this tomorrow, Paul! I hate doors that don't stay where you put them!!!!!!
I have that issue with my first floor half bath. Awesome tips
Hey Paul. I'd love to get your hinge hack ideas on old painted kitchen cabinet doors that wont stay closed in the rent houses I work on. Constant headache. Can I Dremel the caps of this little hinges and do the wire or rod bend thing on these? Many have been painted many times!
If you're lucky and the frame is plumb you just need to tighten the screws on both sides of the hinges. Nice tips Paul, I didn't know those.
That's a great tip, I should have added that one too. Thank you Wakeywhodat!
Have a good weekend!
I really like your videos they have helped this DIYer many times. Can you do a video on how to fix the drywall around an outlet box that either was over cut or just broken away over the years so the outlet box does not float in the hole or if you need to put in an old work box? I have tried a few different ways and all are very time consuming ans only hold up for a few years at best with plugging and unplugging cords. Thanks for your consideration.
Thanks Paul now I hopefully fix my front door from swinging open.
I hope so too Michael, thank you for taking the time for me!
Have a good day!
Just bought a house and have lots of bad doors thanks for the tips
Great information will use on a bedroom door thanks!!
Quick easy fix is; do the laundry standing on left or right foot and the other leg holding the door open. Gets the laundry done and pilate exercise at the same time... LMAO
Another great fix sir! 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great tip! Have used it on many occasions
Great tips. Never thought of that. Keep up the good work.
Hi Paul,
All our doors have hinges with finials top and bottom that screw on and off.
Is there a pin inside that can be removed. I have removed pins from hinges like you have in your example.
Thank's !!! Only "watch" U- Tube !!!
Great tips as usual.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time for me and especially commenting!
looking forward to the difficult fix
do you do anything with Re-grouting.
Thanks i just fixed my bedroom door
Thanks sir!
You might want to add that this tip won't work with spring assisted hinges (mostly seen on doors leading to the garage, because of toxic fumes from the garage). It would involve releasing the tension with the hex key (or whatever style they have).
Thanks for the tips as usual.
Good morning eightyproof, That is a great suggestion and I wish I would have seen your post prior to doing this video. Single action hinges are made for fire rated doors, they are very affordable and make a good option for doors that want to stay open. The problem with this door is that it wants to close by itself so I would need a double action hinge for this application. Double action hinges are made for commercial doors such as double bar doors or cafeteria doors, they are bulky and pricey.
Thanks for the tip and have a good day!
This sounds very labor intensive. For a 5-minute fix which requires no tools look for Magna Stop Magnetic Door Stops on YT.
GREAT INFO. tHANKS A BUNCH
Worked!
I always run into the "mouse and cookie" routine. While I'm doing this I may as well fix this, but if I do this I may as well do this, and because it would be silly while I'm doing this that I shouldn't just go ahead and do this. Now if I could just remember what it was that I was trying to fix originally.
Good little tip !!
Useful stuff as always. ☺
Thanks!!
So, If the door are gone open or close, you could bow the middle hinge pen?
I put some oil in the hinge, because he make a noise, but now he goes open.
Yes, bending the pin will cause friction by tightening the joint. If it squeaks you can apply a small amount of silicone spray to it. It should still stay in place when open and will not make noise.
Thanks!
*Paul Ricalde* I will try.
But if i wanne do the second option ( with the hamer) do i need to get out the hole Hinge, or is only get out the pin enough?
I only took the hinge off to show exactly how the pin comes out. You can pop the pin out easily in most cases. Good luck and let me know if you run into any problems.
Thanks!
Paul
👍 good info
Great tip! I’ll use my mega pro!
I like that one..
Thank you James! Have a nice weekend!
Opps , that’s what you said.
Just put a little bend in the pin
I bend the pin and now the door is making a squeaking sound, when I open and shut it
Thanks
Thank you for the tips!
I thought you were gonna use some shimes behind the top or bottom hinges to make the door hinges sit plumb in the not plumb frame.
Hi Michael, I personally don't like to shim behind the hinge itself, it can cause the door to bind. Hinges are mortised in order to seat correctly in the frame, shimming them can cause more problems then they are worth. Plumbing the frame is easier that people think and I will be posting a video soon on that subject.
Thanks Michael and have a good day!
I have the complete opposite problem
Hey Jeffrey, how have you been buddy? Hope you are doing well and have a great weekend!
i needa win some tools
Nope!!!
My wife married me not because I can fix something. She realizes after 38 years that she married a lover not a handyman.
I Cringed when I saw you pick up the chisel.
