    I wouldnt attempted the oversize. Its ball ache. Just get the 6mm standard ones. Its the pins that wear, not the holes (from my experience)

    Replacing the door pins was the first thing I tried, which only made a slight improvement, has anyone had any success with larger pins ?

    Now a days normally need oversized pins as there has been years of wear to both pins and hinges keep both sizes in stock.
