Plot twist, you’re teleported in a room that will be set on fire if a switch isn’t pressed within 2 hours and broken door hinge blocks you from pressing it

Every broken doorhinge can be bypassed in two ways. Fix it. Or break it more.

Perhaps you could look for an alternate solution?

As long as I can break door hinges for those 2 hours, I’m good.

Pretty sure it’s been 5 years since I’ve meddled with any door hinge.
tetris11@feddit.uk 2 hours ago
it’s been less than a year, and to this day that door just ain’t right

On a serious note, if you have a striped screw on a door hinge, put some tooth picks in the hole, snap off the bit that sticks out, and put the screw back in. I’ve fixed so many doors this way.
BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 4 hours ago
Does it matter what direction the stripes run on the screw? :)
To add to this, a stripped screw into concrete or brick can be fixed with the same method but using a small piece of copper wire the length of the screw.

Unfortunately I don’t know enough about screws to tell if this is a joke

You don’t need wood glue? Just the toothpicks?
marcos@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
You are better with some plastic, but any flexible material will do. Glue will only make you life harder.
bzLem0n@lemmy.ca 5 hours ago
Wood glue and toothpicks, without the glue the toothpicks would get pulled out.
Anissem@lemmy.ml 5 hours ago
I’ve gotten many loose screws tight with just toothpicks, no glue.

Yes, I believe I would do it even if everyone I know must die of natural causes some day…at random!

You all are misinterpetting this. If in the rest of your life you spend 2 hours or more fixing door hinges the 500 million is revoked and if you’re in the negative now they take your organs to make up for the deficit.

If I had half a billion dollars I can promise you I would be spending zero seconds of the rest of my life screwing in door hinges.

I can imagine the genie thinking “Bwahaha I tricked you!” and then getting increasingly frustrated that I never fix a door hinge again even though I didn’t notice the trick wording.

If I had that money I could finally pursue my passion of fixing door hinges.

Replace your ‘door’ hinges with ‘cabinet’ or ‘industrial maritime’ hinges and you’re set.

Pro tip:
If the holes in the door frame are wallowed out, jam some pieces of toothpick in there first, then put the hinge on and screw it in.

Master tip:
Use a rawl plug
ulterno@programming.dev 2 hours ago
Yeah, I didn’t understand why people were going around talking about toothpicks when there is a thingy specifically made for the job.
To use a toothpick, I would need to go out and buy a pack, while I already have a dozen of them plugs lying around in my house. In fact I got 2 more pieces, complementary with the a handheld mixer, because it had a wall-mount fitment.kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 hours ago
Otherwise known as a drywall anchor or wall plug. My parents also call them mollies, but those are different (though also often used for screwing things into drywall).

What’s the ruling on paying someone to fix a door hinge? Knowing my luck it’s when the bathroom and front door comes off.
Bazell@lemmy.zip 4 hours ago
At first I thought that I actually need to fix any door and the challenge would be a very complicated dozen hinged door and was OK with it, but then well, damn… I realized that this challenge is impossible.

Do I still get to grease squeaky hinges? If so, maybe a deal.

Yes. I can spend those two hours watching door hinge repair videos on YouTube, I was going to do that anyway.
