  4. Screws come loose when the holes become too large for the screws. If necessary, drill new holes into the door.
  5. In this case, the top two holes were no longer usable, so we created more underneath the bottom holes.

  7. One by one, use the screwdriver to place the new screws.
  8. The screws shouldn't be too tight. Be sure that the hinge is loose enough to rotate while placing the other screws.
  9. Tighten all screws best you can with the hand held screwdriver.
