    Door pins?

    Got my doors off as fitting some different ones the old doors were dropping slightly, iv got over sized pins to use do i do this option or iv read there is a kit to convert to torx?

    Or do i get or pins and drill just the body and get some sleeves to insert in then fit or pins?

    What people recommend? Easiest way?

    Easiest way drill the hinge out and drop a larger pin in.

    You could put sleeves in them but they have lasted 20 odd years without

    I've got some here for free if you come and collect them from Ellesmere Port. Just got a pack off eBay.

    You can i have seen buy stainless door pins.

    Before drilling out isnt it always a good idea to just try new pins? its the pins that wear right.

    I thought it was the hinge that worn out, probably a bit of both.
