Hello,
We are wrapping up phase 1 of our living area remodel. We remove the fold-down doors over the couch and dining table compartments; removing the top hinges, handles, and the hydraulic type hinge on the side that keeps the door in the open position.
A head-scratcher for me occurred when trying to reinstall the hinges. Once I screwed in the 2 top screws and the one bottom screw that goes through the cylinder piece, door would not close. The thin rod that slides into the cylinder only went a little way then stopped. When I tried a little force, it popped the top right hinge screws. I have 5 of these to install, and have no idea what to do other than looking for another type of hinge.
Any input is appreciated.
I had a similar problem on a brand new trailer.
I took all that garbage off and replaced it with side opening self closing hinges from Lowes. Problem solved !
