Yes, just for those DIY guys. If the screw holds are stripped out on most anything, especially on your door hangs. Like he said, remove the screws, and if you're a golfer, you can use Golf Tees, as for those of you who are not golfers, you can use, wooden kitchen matches, wooden toothpicks these are just a few more options, if you don't find yourself on the golf course anytime soon. It's also a good idea to replace the screws that came out of the hang with longer, stronger ones. I suggest 2 1/2-3" black carbon steel drywall screws. These are also called Crabbers. Once you screw those puppies in, it's not moving, period.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing your expertise with the rest of us. Going to follow this to fix my friends stripped door hinge and def gonna try the gold wood tees 👍
That was awesome! Thank you. I opened my cupboard and the heavy door fell right off. Lucky I’m okay because it was above my head. Going to do this now 🥳🤗
If they installed the hinge coreectly in the first place, this probably wouldn't happen. Too many people reach for a drill driver, the correct method is to drill a pilot hole and use a hand screwdriver to screw in your screws. You should really use a handscrewdriver for all screws that are on show so as to avoid scratching the finish or chewing at the screw. For that extra level of finesse, line up all your slotted screws to be the same - very sexy.
They key is to not over tighten the screws. You can set the clutch on your drill driver. It wouldn’t be cost effective for the customer to use a hand screw driver if you doing a whole house full of door hinges. That would take forever. I don’t think iv ever looked at the screw orientation on my door hinges. But if that’s what the customer want I’ll do it. I always line up the screw heads on switch and outlet covers plates.
Solid core copper wire in cement works well also if the hole in the cement is too large for your tapcon. Just cut a piece of wire off at the same depth as the hole
I have a wooden pull knob on a drawer from my chest of drawers that is stripped out. Can I use this same process or do you have another recommendation?
It should. Get some thin super glue and Soak the hole with that first then pound in you pice of wood. The super glue will turn the particle board hard. Check out my dry rot video ruclips.net/video/zRXVl5TW03M/видео.html
There is never no risk but I never have a problem with cracking on hinge screws. You can pre drill them if you want to be safe. I have had door frames crack when I installed striker plates for the latch. This is only on new doors that haven’t had holes put in them.
I actually have a door in my apartment that fell of the hinges and they used really long nails, so there’s a giant hole😭 would I just do the same process?
Coming from 20 years in commercial property management, this is a Huge issue. This is a cheap solution in a pinch. QUESTION. Did you drill out the holes to match the with of the tee or stick? or did they happen to be the same size? If anyone has this issue with their door latch or dead bolt, there is a new hardware that sits inside the door along the latch that is threaded, called Resecure Latch. They have a channel here that shows how it works. Hopefully we will see it inside a hardware store.
@TheUltimateHandymanKyle Yeah, they do, buy again, you are only buy time before you are looking for more tee's. That new hardware is permanent and am sure adds some more bracing than sticks of wood.
I have heard of people using match sticks or a bunch of tooth picks. You can basically jam any kids of wood you find in the striped hole and it will work
@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle those do work but from what I’ve experienced doing maintenance for an apartment complex for 14 years golf tees are just the right size for a hole that a stripped out standard hinge screw comes from.
Spread it apart slightly and put some wood glue into the crack. Put some finish nails or finish screws to pin it back together while the glue is drying. Follow the steps in this video after the glue dries. After that you can fill the holes, sand and repaint.
Nope. This is the 10th video (so far) how to fix the hinge on the door FRAME side. Everyone knows this fix because the frame is a solid piece of wood. Why not show the difficult fix on the actual DOOR side where the door is hollow inside? I've used those plastic drywall screw insets to varying, sometimes lasting, sometimes temporary success but I would like to know a more professional, longer lasting fix for HOLLOW door holes that have no backing to put dowels or toothpicks into. Not solid door frames. That's easy. Please. Where are the real fix-it men?
It’s the same fix for both sides. All hallow doors have a wood side strip that the screws go in. It should be 1” to 1”1/2 think. I’ve used this method on lots of doors and have never had a problem. The plastic drywall anchors are garbage do not use them. If the wood is split where the screws go inject some super glue in the crack and clamp it together. You can also use super glue in the holes with some type of wood. Let me know how it goes
Thank you for your reply Kyle. Appreciated. But this hollow door is not even close to one inch. It’s probably like 1/8 …maybe 1/4 but doubtful. So you try to do the wood/dowel/glue thing and it can never set. Or even if you got it to set, it would just pop out. I’m not sure if I can post images but if you saw how thin it is, you’d understand. Y’know what, I’m going to try it again anyway. Maybe I’ll figure out how to make it work or just talking about it will renew my thinking on it. But I’m very doubtful. It’s like, wafer-thin. The door doesn’t seem like it’d be that thin looking at it. It’s not like it’s a total POS. It seems like a structurally fine, modern bedroom door. It’s just super thin after drilling out the holes. I’ll wish myself good luck ;) Thanks again for the reply.
The branches I used were dry and I used glue on them. Drilling the hole out bigger is not necessary and a wast of time. I’ve never had any problems doing it this way.
@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle Drilling the holes out and hammering in a dowel gives more surface area to glue. I tried dowels the same size as the stripped hole, but when tightened, the remainder of the dowel stripped out again.
It might work if you use super glue on the wood. The block might fail before the glue. You could try these wall anchors they sell at Lowe’s. If the screws they come with are to short you can get longer ones at ace.

“I probably wouldn’t use it to hold your House to the foundation” 😂😂
Definitely not. This is for light duty applications.
@@TheUltimateHandymanKyle what about 4 tv wall mount anchors?! I made the holes too big! What can I do?
You saved me the trubble. 😶
I tried it once. The San Andreas fault won that fight!
thank you!! I was improvising and put 3 half toothpicks into the hole and that worked like magic as well!!!
Nice job. Anything wood will work.

Great tip. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try this.
This will work in the door? I have two hinges that came loose from the door not the door frame. Thanks
Yes
Is it considered a good idea to drill a small hole into the wood plug and glue prior to screwing in the screw?
No it’s not necessary. I’ve never had a problem with cracking
I have a wooden pull knob on a drawer from my chest of drawers that is stripped out. Can I use this same process or do you have another recommendation?

Will this work for particle board?
It should. Get some thin super glue and Soak the hole with that first then pound in you pice of wood. The super glue will turn the particle board hard. Check out my dry rot video

I subbed
Thank you so much! I’m 3 subs away from a 1000.
Longer screws will do the trick as well. Will go further into the jamb and into the studs.
Yes they can help. sometime even they strip out.
How much would you charge someone for this job? Thanks you just got a subscriber!!
It would be $150 and would take 30 minutes.
Toothpicks work well also
Yes they do. Any thing wood will work
Will this work if the stripped hole is in the hollow door, instead of the wall?
Yes
Like it
thanks
Will this work on MDF ?
Yes. Use thin super glue so it soaks into the MDF. It should harden it up.
What happens in later years? Will it eventually strip again or will it last forever?
It should last along time. Nothing last forever
How long to wait before rescrew?
You don’t have to wait.
Cool hat! Do you surf?
No but my friend with a bad back does.
So there’s no risk of cracking the frame if you don’t pre-drill the plugs?

damn this guy is needy
Needy for what?
tooth picks are the easiest and simple
That works also. Anything wood you can stick in the hole will work
Use wood dowels
You can use anything wood that will fit in the holes
As a press fit no glue is needed.....
You can do it with no glue. It’s a lot stronger with glue
Toothpick works I heard. With wood glue.
That will work. Basically any thing made out of wood you can glue in the hole will work.
chopsticks work too
Yes
I saw that face on the thumbnail, and I had to click
That’s why I make them. To get your attention. I hope you like the video also
