To put a door back up on its existing hinges, keep the hinge pins in your hand, and align and set the top hinge first.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Prepare: Have all three hinge pins ready and within easy reach.
- Alignment: Carefully align the door's top hinge with the corresponding hinge on the door frame. This step is crucial for a smooth fit.
- Insertion: Insert the hinge pin into the aligned top hinge.
- Support and Alignment: While holding the door in place (or having someone assist), align the remaining hinges.
- Finalize: Insert the remaining hinge pins into the middle and bottom hinges. Ensure all pins are fully seated for a secure hold.
