Wait at least an hour.

How to fix a fire door hinge pulled out.

If it still will not come out it may be easier to remove the screws from one leaf which will allow you to remove the door. Then reposition the hinge leaf and bore 1 8 inch diameter pilot holes. Tighten the screws with a phillips screwdriver. The wrong way is a temporary fix not cool.

Fix it the right way not the wrong way. Hold the hinge in place and mark the hole locations. Bore out and plug each of the remaining stripped screw holes the same way. Use your drill and a small drill bit to drill new pilot holes for your screws.

Wait about 10 minutes and try tapping again. This is not how i usually would do this fix but thought people would like the mi. If a hinge pin is stuck and will not come out when you tap it with a screwdriver first try squirting with penetrating lubricant. I just held the bit up to the screws to find one that was slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw shaft.

A how to video my first of many to come looking forward to sharing. Step 4 tap new threads into the steel door with a tap that is the same size diameter as the screw threads. Insert the screws through the hinge and into the threaded holes in the steel door. If the hinge pin falls out.

Spread carpenter s glue onto a 3 8 inch diameter x 1 inch long wood dowel and tap it into the hole until it s flush with the jamb. I am not sure what size bit i used i eyeballed it.
